Case studies in the Report expose the editorial prejudices and biases of Western Media against India. Here's one of the many examples highlighted in the report - New York Times cartoon which ridiculed India’s budget mission to Mars. @nytimes 
Report exposes how Western Media has different yardstick for coverage of similar socio-political developments in India & in the West. Case in point - Pulwama terror attack called an explosion by @nytimes, & difference in coverage of COVID peaks in India and at home. @emilyschmall
Report highlights inability of foreign correspondents to understand complexities of Indian society. Example – @nytimes report paints India’s decision to promote its indigenous textile industry as an obstacle in country’s growth.

Analysis of readership data in the report indicates that correlation between their digital readership growth in India & their sensational reportage is strong. Their readership in India has grown more rapidly in comparison to their growth globally. @HannahEP @nytimes @WSJ @TIME
