ABOUT
We know how journalism works. We are not here for gossip and sensation.
Times of Assam covers news, reports, and articles maintaining the Norms of Journalistic Conduct, section 13 (b) of the Press Council Act, 1978. We also cover news, reports, and articles that are sidelined by the mainstream media. We’re not dependent on government sources; we’re reliant on field investigations.
