MUMBAI: India’s first global multicast news hub has just blown out its first birthday candle, celebrating 12 months of fearless journalism, bold scoops, and a no-nonsense approach to facts in an era where sensationalism often grabs the mic.
Launched on 23 August 2024 with the unapologetic motto “Complete Truth, Whatever It Takes,” the channel has spent the past year prying open stories others left untouched. From exposing the bone-chilling horrors of Operation Murda to on-ground exclusives during the Delhi Assembly elections, Live Times has made a habit of rattling cages and raising questions.
Healthcare too came under its lens: reports on Bihar’s crumbling hospitals, Chhattisgarh’s fragile medical system, and mass migration in Madhya Pradesh revealed the gaps between policy and reality. One expose on patients denied treatment despite holding Ayushman health cards made it all the way to the state Assembly, proving that journalism still has teeth.
With exclusive drone visuals, Live Times captured India’s evolving counter-terror strategy, setting fresh benchmarks in both technology and reporting grit.
But it hasn’t stopped at newsbreaks. To mark its anniversary, Live Times launched “Voices of Experience: Advice for Future Journalists” , a campaign that tapped India’s veteran reporters for wisdom nuggets. The advice? Double down on fact-checking, stay fearless, work hard, and always keep credibility intact. In other words: journalism has no shortcuts.
One year on, Live Times isn’t just patting itself on the back; it’s holding up a mirror to the profession. Its message is clear: truth is timeless, and in the race for eyeballs, integrity still wins the day.
