Questions readers ask
All FAQsWhere does The Headline Update’s news come from?
We list reports from established Indian and international publishers through news APIs and publisher RSS feeds, and we write our own explainers. Every story shows the original publisher and links to the full report, so you can always check the source.
How often is the site updated?
The news engine refreshes several times a day, and the breaking ticker always shows the newest headlines first. Stories stay on the site for 30 days; our explainers stay permanently and are updated when facts change.
What does “Reported by 3 outlets” mean?
When different publishers independently report the same story, we group them and show the count with links. More independent coverage is a useful sign that a story is real — it is not a guarantee, which is why we always link the originals.
Can I read news only from my state?
Yes. There is a page for each of the 28 states and 8 union territories. Stories are tagged by the places they mention, so a report on Guwahati appears on the Assam page.
How much does advertising cost?
Prices start at ₹49 a day for a sidebar box. The final amount depends on the placement, the number of days and whether you want the spot to yourself. The calculator on our Advertise page shows the exact total before you pay.
How soon does my ad go live?
On your chosen start date, once payment is confirmed and your banner passes our quick review. Bookings can start from tomorrow; most ads are approved within a few working hours.
Latest news from India, with the source on every story
The Headline Update brings together the day’s most important news from across India: national headlines, politics, business and markets, cricket and other sports, exams and education, weather and monsoon alerts, technology, entertainment and the world news that matters to Indian readers. Every story carries the name of the publisher that first reported it and a link to the full report, so you can always check the source yourself.
Our state pages cover all 28 states and 8 union territories, from Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Bihar to Sikkim, Ladakh and Lakshadweep. Stories are tagged by the cities and districts they mention, so news from Guwahati appears on the Assam page and news from Kochi on the Kerala page.
Alongside the news, our explainer desk writes original guides on how India works — how votes are counted, what the repo rate means for your EMI, how to check a viral forward, and what to do in the first hour after an online fraud.
The Headline Update is free to read, with no paywall and no login. It is funded by clearly labelled advertising: shops, coaching institutes, brands and event organisers can book ad space from ₹49 a day and see the exact price before paying.
