News Service
The News Service, in both English and Hindi, forms the heart of the IANS operation. It presents objective, user-friendly news with a global perspective. This makes it the preferred, content provider and knowledge resource on India, Indians and South Asia. IANS breaks through often cliched and stereotyped reporting about this part of the world. Its talented team of journalists and cont
ributors - some of the best in India - produces a steady output of diverse, well-researched news and backgrounders, features, interviews, analyses and commentaries. Subjects span politics, foreign policy, strategic affairs, corporate affairs, science, and health. Aviation, energy, technology, environment, the arts, literature, entertainment, social trends, human interest, religion and sports are also extensively covered. Given collaborations with several international news organizations, IANS is often used by media as a one-stop source of all news - both domestic and international. Industry, media circles and government departments depend on it. It is also a content source for our other SBUs. In short, it is capable of meeting almost all information needs.
