Ownership is metadata. IFFA does not use it to determine a publisher’s alignment or reliability, and never infers it — see methodology.

External ratings

No external bias / factuality rating is on record for The Times of India. IFFA has not integrated an external rating provider for this publisher — it shows “no rating on record” rather than a guess.

External ratings are kept separate from IFFA’s own observed metrics below — they are never blended.
