About Us

The Draft is the international media platform of The Draft News Network, the media wing of DraftCraft International—a think tank committed to meaningful discourse and policy impact. Born online as a bold, independent media initiative on 15 August 2018, The Draft has since evolved into a formidable voice of reason, inquiry, and reform.

With its trademark tagline Across India and Beyond Borders, The Draft delivers a rich blend of reportage—news, features, commentaries, columns, and investigations—that inform, educate, and engage. It bridges the gap between the pulse of the people and the corridors of power, offering viewers nuanced perspectives on issues that matter.

Fuelled by an extensive collective of correspondents, writers, photographers, analysts, researchers, and legal experts—working through academic linkages, media exchanges, and strategic partnerships—The Draft thrives on authenticity, depth, and rigour.

Crucially, The Draft News Network stands apart for its uncompromising stance on media ethics and its pioneering campaign to erase misinformation—not just correct it. In line with DraftCraft’s media reform initiatives, The Draft is committed to deleting published reports and articles whose claims are later disproven—whether through internal audits, new evidence, legal interventions, or responsible complaints.

For The Draft, truth is non-negotiable. Publishing a footnote correction or a crawling disclaimer while the original misinformation continues to live on the Internet defeats the very essence of accountability. Harmful, untrue content must not be allowed to linger indefinitely in digital archives.

To that end, The Draft News Network is actively working with lawmakers, policy strategists, and global institutions to push for systemic reforms that mandate the removal—not mere annotation—of discredited digital content. It is a global campaign to clean up the Internet, one truth at a time.
