In a major editorial shake-up poised to reshape the Hindi news media landscape, renowned journalist Deepak Chaurasia has joined Live Times, India’s first Global Multicast News Hub, as its Director News. This bold move strengthens the channel’s commitment to fearless, fact-based journalism and marks a new chapter in its growing influence.

According to an official press release from Live Times, the appointment of Chaurasia—one of Hindi television’s most prominent editorial voices—reinforces the organisation’s core editorial promise of “Complete Truth, Whatever it Takes.” Known for his ground-breaking reportage and over three decades of unflinching journalism, Deepak’s presence adds immense credibility and experience to the channel’s expanding newsroom.

With this move, Live Times aims to redefine the very ethos of TV news by cutting through noise, sensationalism, and misinformation. “Deepak becoming part of Live Times means more fire to Live Times’ core value of Satyam Shivam Sundaram,” said Dilip Kumar Singh, Founder, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief of Live Times. “At a time when TRP has overtaken truth, and noise has overtaken news, Deepak with Live Times would contribute towards reversing the trend of TRP over truth and fakes over facts,” he added.

Deepak Chaurasia, whose journalistic journey spans from war zones and natural disasters to political turmoil and landmark events like the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and CAA protests, brings a gravitas that aligns deeply with Live Times’ editorial ambitions. He has built a reputation for confronting uncomfortable truths and telling stories that matter, always with a deep connection to the common viewer.

“I have always believed in journalism that serves people, not agendas,” said Chaurasia. “Live Times is that rare newsroom today that prioritizes authentic, verified reporting over virality. I am thrilled to be part of a mission that champions factual storytelling, asks uncomfortable questions, and puts viewers and users at the center of news & information.”

As Director News, Deepak will report directly to Dilip Kumar Singh and will spearhead everything from primetime programming to special investigations and multi-platform storytelling. A soon-to-be-launched primetime show under his editorial leadership will reflect the hallmark of his career—fact-first journalism powered by deep-dive analysis and ground reports.

With Live Times continuing its quest to bring together talent, technology, and truth, Chaurasia’s appointment signals the beginning of a powerful editorial movement. The platform aims to deliver authentic news at local, regional, national, and global levels, offering viewers and users a credible alternative in a media environment increasingly marred by sensationalism.
