Five years after The Federal was launched from Chennai, the digital news platform has reached Delhi in its Hindi avatar as The Federal Desh.
After English, Telugu and Kannada, the Delhi-based entity is the fifth edition of The Federal, promoted by New Generation Media, whose flagship is the leading Tamil TV channel Puthiya Thalaimurai.
The latest edition seeks to synergise State-centric news and the developments in India’s capital, New Delhi.
The Federal started its operations in March 2019 from Chennai to focus on States, as the name suggests. Therefore, after launching a national website in English, The Federal, has launched its state editions — called The Federal Telangana, The Federal Andhra Pradesh and The Federal Karnataka. Now it is embarking upon a national website in Hindi from Delhi, called The Federal Desh.
“We seek to present all sides of a news story and consciously keep away from promoting any particular type of politics, government or specific individuals,”says S Srinivasan, the Editor-in-Chief of The Federal. “For us, news is the HERO and while presenting a news story we ensure that all viewpoints are accommodated.”
The views published in The Federal are highly varied and any contributed Opinion is accepted as long as the arguments are cogent and backed by verifiable facts, says Srinivasan. There are talented independent journalists who contribute special stories and analyses from all parts of the country.
With the Delhi edition, The Federal is reaching out to the vast Hindi market.
