Firstpost is an Indian online news and media website. The site is a part of the Network 18 media conglomerate owned by Reliance Industries, which also runs CNN-News18 and CNBC-TV18.[1]
In May 2013, the news group was merged with the Indian edition of Forbes India whose four top editorial heads including editor in chief Indrajit Gupta were dismissed.[3][4] The event led to a media furor.[5] Thereafter on 31 May 2013, Firstpost took over a satirical website Fakingnews.com for an undisclosed amount.[6]
As of April 2020, Jaideep Giridhar is the executive editor of Firstpost in Mumbai, while Sanjay Singh is the deputy executive editor.[7]
