On the administrationmostly neutral

Background

News247Plus describes itself as an Indian news and media company started in 2017, with its main office in Kolkata. Business databases list founders Amit Kumar Jha, Khushbu Kumari Jha and Pankaj Prasad and a staff of roughly 1-10 people. It presents itself as a new-age online portal built by programmers and web developers. It says it offers real-time, unbiased and unaltered news across many categories, including positive stories that traditional outlets may overlook. Its self-description as unbiased is a marketing claim, not an independently verified finding. I found no assessment of the outlet from Media Bias/Fact Check or similar raters, and no documented controversies or awards. Several larger, unrelated outlets have similar names (for example News24 in South Africa, India and Bangladesh), so care is needed not to confuse them. Because information about this outlet is thin, its orientation and its coverage of the Trump administration cannot be characterized with confidence. This profile rests mainly on company-directory listings and the outlet's own descriptions.
