Comment: Take one example: "NewsDrum Informals, a column that carries developments in politics and government, recently made a mark with its reporting.[7]" What does "made a mark" mean? Why does the reader care? Closer to an advert than an enclyclopedia entry. If the article was shortened and the content with secondary coverage expanded (such as the line: "Wikipedia edited language on the pages of several Indian news channels in October 2024, following a NewsDrum report alleging bias.[8]"), might be a workable stub.

- Comment: This is written as a news item, not as an encyclopaedia article. The tone requires amendment. We need the article to be a distillation of what is said in references which WP:42.What we do not need is prose such as this: "According to Storyboard18’s coverage of Comscore’s April 2025 report, NewsDrum was ranked among the top-15 digital-only independent news outlets."Write in your own words what it says in the reference, and use the reference as a citation. Otherwise you sound like a journalist writing a news item. Your draft consists of a large number of these jurist style sentences, all of which need to be edited please. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 11:58, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

NewsDrum.in is an Indian digital news website launched in 2022. Journalist Niraj Sharma leads the platform that covers categories such as politics, business, sports, geopolitics and lifestyle.[1][2]
Funding
[edit]NewsDrum is bootstrapped by the BMI Group of Publications and monetised through advertising and branded content.[3]
Over 70% of NewsDrum’s users are aged between 18 and 44, concentrated in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. However, the platform appears to have been challenged by resources, a competitive disadvantage in the highly-cluttered digital news space.[4]

[edit]NewsDrum Informals, a column that carries developments in politics and government, recently was recognised by mainline newspaper for its reportage.[5]
The site's editorial approach includes avoiding toxicity and targeting individuals or communities.[3]
Coverage and reception
[edit]Following a NewsDrum report on Indian television coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory to news channels, in April 2022.[6]
Wikipedia edited its critical language on the pages of several Indian news channels in October 2024, following a NewsDrum report alleging bias.[7]
Comscore’s April 2025 report ranked NewsDrum among the top-15 digital-only independent news outlets.[6]
In 2024, NewsDrum integrated artificial intelligence and other technology tools to improve its product and workflow.[8][9]
Founder
[edit]Sharma has been interviewed or cited by outlets including Madhyamam and The Times of India in connection with media controversies and newsroom conduct.[10][11]
