About Us

The Draft is an international media platform of The Draft News Network. Established digitally on 15 August 2018 as a bold, independent media venture, The Draft has since evolved into a formidable voice of reason, inquiry, and accountability.

Guided by its defining tagline, Across India and Beyond Borders, The Draft presents a dynamic mix of reportage — news, features, commentaries, columns, and investigations departing from traditional norms — that seek to inform, analyse, and engage. It occupies the critical intersection between public sentiment and institutional authority, offering discerning audiences layered perspectives on contemporary issues that shape governance, society, and the global order.

Powered by a vast network of correspondents, writers, photographers, analysts, researchers, and legal experts — operating through academic collaborations, media exchanges, and strategic partnerships — The Draft is distinguished by its hallmark authenticity, intellectual depth, and journalistic rigour.

What sets The Draft apart is its unflinching commitment to media ethics and its pioneering campaign against misinformation and Fake News. Unlike conventional outlets that merely amend or annotate factual errors, The Draft leads an unprecedented initiative to erase disproven content from public circulation. Reports or articles found to be inaccurate — through internal review, fresh evidence, legal directives, or credible complaints — are permanently withdrawn, not revised.

For The Draft, truth is absolute and non-negotiable. The practice of appending corrections or disclaimers while allowing the original misinformation to persist online, it asserts, undermines the very principle of accountability. Falsehoods, once exposed, must not be permitted to endure in digital archives.

To that end, The Draft is collaborating with lawmakers, policy architects, and international institutions to advance systemic reforms that will require the removal — not mere annotation — of discredited digital material.
