Truth vs Hype is an Indian weekly current affairs programme produced by Ambika Varma and presented by Sreenivasan Jain in the English news channel New Delhi Television 24x7 (NDTV 24x7).
[1][2] In most episodes, Jain travels to various parts of India to discuss a major news story of the week, with help of additional inputs from New Delhi Television correspondents.
[2][3] The program, launched in September 2011, was praised for breaking away from the stereotypical Indian format of "talking-heads" discussion on prime time news television.
"In a world pre-occupied with breaking news and centred around studio rooms, Sreenivasan Jain’s show Truth vs Hype aimed at bringing stories straight from the field.
From covering the aftermath of the revolution in Egypt to investigating the riots in Assam, from exposing the nexus between miners, real-estate players and politicians in Goa to a series on the coal scam, the show kept its focus on hard news", The Indian Express wrote.
