News Websites
List of some top best news websites in India
(in alphabetical order)
NEW-AGE WEBSITES
READ CAREFULLY: New-Age websites are some of the best and most rewarding premium news websites to be featured in for organic news articles. They are termed ‘New-Age’ websites by trade media, because most of them are less than 10 years old, though having a strong Google presence. Many of them still cover organic (unpaid) editorial news content.

CHECK: What are New-Age websites, Veteran websites and Legacy websites?
And which category should ‘you’ choose for your branding
VETERAN WEBSITES
READ CAREFULLY: These sites are termed ‘Veteran’ websites by trade media, because they are old-timers on the web. Most of them are over 10-15 years old. Many of them (though not all) have gone ‘paid’ with paid media / paid news / sponsored posts / brand posts / branded content; which broadly means ‘charging’ for editorial news content (just like publications charge for advertisements), either directly, or through third-party vendors and suppliers. However, most websites doing paid news, carry Disclaimers at the end of paid news articles, which state that the article has been provided by a third-party and that they are not responsible for the authenticity of the article.

LEGACY WEBSITES
READ CAREFULLY: These sites are termed as ‘Legacy’ websites by the trade media, because they have a legacy of print and television media. These mostly belong to media houses existing from before the new internet age. Many of them (though not all) have gone ‘paid’ with paid media / paid news / sponsored posts / brand posts / branded content; which broadly means ‘charging’ for editorial news content (just like publications charge for advertisements), either directly, or through third-party vendors and suppliers. However, most websites doing paid news, carry Disclaimers at the end of paid news articles, which state that the article has been provided by a third-party and that they are not responsible for the authenticity of the article.
