## About

South India's English-language broadsheet of record is published from Bangalore: Deccan Herald has covered national politics from outside the Delhi orbit since the late 1940s. The pace is broadsheet-measured and the register balanced, with editorials that have generally tracked centrist framing on contested national topics through recent administrations. Its Karnataka anchor gives it a different vantage on Indian political developments.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
