Hindi Samachar Ownership, Funding, and Advertising Policy
Hindi Samachar has been owned and operated by online publisher The Innersane in New Delhi, India since October 2018. Previous to that, the site was owned by founder Hunar Bhagwani. Hindi Samachar (a subsidiary of the GS Media Group) oversees operation of Hindi Samachar across all platforms across on which the brand appears: Google, Facebook, YouTube, and a host of other social media and news platforms. That said, Hindi Samachar does not influence or otherwise dictate the opinions of the editorial teams nor interfere with site objectives, voice, or topic selection.
Programatic advertising platforms fund the majority of website operations, editorial salaries, and content payouts; still, the Hindi Samachar editorial staff, writers, and content team operate independent of Hindi Samachar’s Ad-Ops team. The two do not interact nor influence each other’s work. Representation of all viewpoints, perspectives, and writers of all backgrounds are strongly encouraged by the senior editors – ensuring that objectivity and accuracy of our content is never restricted by any one writer, editor, partner, or business devision..
On rare occasions, partnerships, direct sales campaigns, and sponsorships are negotiated by our ads team or content teams. Sponsored articles are clearly identified with a disclosure statement identifying the post accordingly. Similarly, select articles also include affiliate links for which Hindi Samachar receives a commission on purchased items. Articles that include affiliate links also contain a statement disclosing an affiliate partnership.
The Hindi Samachar editorial team leverages relationships with studios, networks, and other partners for the purpose of exclusive interviews, review product, and other opportunities that help us create informed and accurate content. We are not paid for this content. To ensure that access does not influence editorial objectivity, we abide by a thorough ethics policy that all writers, editors, and contributors must follow.
