Outlet track record
The Wire
Indian center-left
The Wire is an Indian digital news outlet published by the non-profit Foundation for Independent Journalism, co-founded in 2015 by veteran journalists Siddharth Varadarajan, Sidharth Bhatia, and MK Venu. It leans center-left in the Indian political context, with a consistent editorial focus on civil liberties, minority rights, press freedom, and accountability toward the ruling BJP government. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been broadly critical, particularly of U.S. tariffs on India and Trump's claims of having personally brokered the 2025 India-Pakistan ceasefire.
