Which Indian outlet reports first?
We group articles from the outlets we track into single stories, then compare publication times. This is what that shows about how each newsroom publishes — measured, not opinion.
The table is ranked on the last 30 days, so it reflects how outlets are publishing now. Form compares that against each outlet’s own lifetime rate — who is getting faster, and who is slipping.

Method: “published earliest” means that outlet’s article carried the earliest publication time among the outlets we track on that story. It is not a claim about who broke the story — an outlet we do not track may have been first. The 30-day rate is withheld below 5 tracked stories in the window and the lifetime rate below 10; Form is shown only when both sides clear their floor, so a dash there means not enough data to compare rather than no change. How we choose sources.
