This study aims to address this gap in the literature by analyzing the attacks on mainstream media mounted by India’s leading right-wing online news portal OpIndia.com.

But while Modi has avoided the mainstream press, his supporters have emerged as a major locus of opposition to professional journalism, operating individually on social media platforms (Mohan, 2015; Udupa, 2015) and institutionally through the platforms provided by right-wing sites (Chadha & Bhat, 2019) whose content typically combines “emotive Hindutva issues and developmental concerns,” as well as support for the BJP government (Khan, 2015). While several such sites exist, as previously explained, OpIndia.com is especially notable both in terms of the unique visitors that it receives as well as its explicit focus on media critique, which is why we chose to focus on it.
