About The Times Of India (TOI) Newspaper

TOI issued its first edition on 3 November 1838 as The Bombay Times and Journal of
Commerce.[19][20] The paper was published on Wednesdays and Saturdays under the
direction of Raobahadur Narayan Dinanath Velkar, a Maharashtrian social reformer, and
contained news from Britain and the world, as well as the Indian Subcontinent. J. E.
Brennan was its first editor.[21][22] In 1850, it began to publish daily editions.
In 1860, editor Robert Knight (1825–1892) bought the Indian shareholders' interests,
merged with rival Bombay Standard, and started India's first news agency. It
wired Times dispatches to papers across the country and became the Indian agent
for Reuters news service. In 1861, he changed the name from the Bombay Times and
Standard to The Times of India. Knight fought for a press free of prior restraint or
intimidation, frequently resisting the attempts by governments, business interests and
cultural spokesmen, and led the paper to national prominence.[23][24] In the 19th century, this
newspaper company employed more than 800 people and had a sizeable circulation in
India and Europe.
The Times of India, or abbreviated TOI It is an Indian English-language daily newspaper as
well as a digital news media that is owned and operated by The Times Group. This is third-
largest daily in India in terms of circulation and the top-selling English-language daily
worldwide. It is the oldest English-language daily in India and the second oldest Indian
newspaper that is still in circulation, having its first edition appearing in 1838. It’s known as
“The Old Lady” of Bori Bunder” It is also one of the Indian ” newspaper of historical
significance”. In the early twentieth century the Lord Curzon, who was the viceroy of India
at the time, declared the newspaper TOI “the top newspaper of Asia”. In 1991 The BBC
classified TOI as one of the six top newspapers. It is owned and published by
title=”Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd.”

joint stock company, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd.
Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. (B.C.C.L. ) is controlled by the Sahu Jain family. The Brand
Trust Report India study in the year 2019, the TOI was named the most trustworthy English
news outlet in India. Reuters has rated the TOI newspaper as the most trustworthy news
media brand in an survey. In recent years the newspaper was criticized for setting up
within the Indian media business the custom of accepting cash payments from people and
organizations to promote positive coverage.

HINDUSTAN TIMES

About Hindustan Times

History
Hindustan Times was founded in 1924 in Delhi by Sunder Singh Lyallpuri, founder-father of
the Akali movement and the Shiromani Akali Dal.[9] S Mangal Singh Gill (Tesildar) and S.
Chanchal Singh (Jandiala, Jalandhar) were made in charge of the newspaper. Madan
Mohan Malaviya and Tara Singh were among the members of the Managing Committee.
The Managing Chairman and Chief Patron was Master Sunder Singh Lyallpuri.
According to Prem Shankar Jha, who wrote an official history of the newspaper in 1999,
most of the early funding of the paper, therefore, came from Sikhs in Canada. When
financial troubles started in the early years, the Akalis approached two interested potential
buyers from the nationalist movement. These were Motilal Nehru and Madan Mohan
Malaviya, and ultimately Malviya bought the Hindustan Times. In fact, Malviya had to take
out a loan of Rs. 40,000 with the help of Lala Lajpat Rai in order to finance the paper. In
1928, Gandhi chose a new editor, K. M. Panikkar, for the paper. By that time, the paper
was running into financial troubles again; G. D. Birla underwrote some expenses and
ultimately assumed ownership.[10]
Devdas Gandhi, son of Mahatma Gandhi, was inducted into the editors' panel, and was
later appointed editor. The opening ceremony was performed by Mahatma Gandhi on 26
September 1924. The first issue was published from Naya Bazar, Delhi (now Swami
Sharda Nand Marg). It contained writings and articles from C. F.
Andrews and Cattamanchi Ramalinga Reddy, among others.
K. M. Panikkar, also known as Sardar Panikkar, launched the Hindustan Times as a
serious nationalist newspaper. As an Oxonian, historian and litterateur, Panikkar strived to
make the paper broader than an Akali sheet. He became the editor and funds flowed freely
from Akali patrons. He exerted himself strenuously, but the paper made very little
headway. In two years, Panikkar could not take the print order any higher than 3,000. By
then the Akali movement appeared to lose steam and funds dried up. The paper was
saved from an untimely demise when Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya stepped in to realise
his vision of a newspaper in Delhi.
It has its roots in the Indian independence movement of the first half of the twentieth
century and even faced the noted "Hindustan Times Contempt Case (August–November,
1941)" at Allahabad High Court. It was edited at times by many important people in India,
including Devdas Gandhi, Sri Mulgaonkar, B.G. Verghese and Khushwant Singh. Sanjoy
Narayan was editor in chief of the paper from 2008 to 2016.

names in English language journalism in India. Over the decades, Hindustan Times has
