Police and officials said one man was killed and four injured when suspected militants attacked Chassad village in Kamjong district on Saturday, and 15 Kuki houses were later set on fire. Separately, three Tangkhul Naga civilians were reported injured in firing, while rival groups traded allegations that remain unverified.
Why it matters: The attack adds to months of Kuki-Zo and Naga violence in Manipur and renews demands for central forces and for state protection of civilians.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.
Based on 7 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 5 of 15 (Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Aaj Tak, Dainik Bhaskar).
Most outlets report the incident in a straight, police-sourced way; they differ on the district, who attacked, and whether the Assam Rifles took sides.
Why: Mostly factual violence report; links to editorial on BJP-led change of guard failing to bring respite and notes the state's silence. Mild civil-liberty and minority-security framing, little loaded language.
Why: Straight report of ethnic violence in Manipur with police and PTI sourcing; no ideological framing or policy argument, so not scored on the ideology dimensions.
Why: Reports ethnic violence mostly through Kuki organisations' allegations, with no Naga response. Touches security and minority protection but not strongly framed; modest tilt toward minority-protection and security demands, so centre.
Why: Straight report of violence in Manipur using police and official accounts. The headline is dramatic, but the text takes no ideological position and does not frame policy or identity issues.
Why: Plain report of ethnic violence citing police and a Naga group; it takes no own-voice side and makes no policy argument, so ideology reads Centre.
Why: Reports ethnic violence and official response with no clear ideological framing on identity, social justice or statism; it is mostly sourced to officials and a minister, so the stance is neutral.
Why: Straight report of ethnic firing in Manipur with police, community groups and deputy CM quoted; no ideological framing, and allegations from both sides are flagged as unverified.
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:
| Wires and the top 20 outlets | checked every 5 minutes |
| All other outlets | checked every 15 minutes |
| New story | goes up at 3 articles from 2 or more outlets, marked Limited coverage |
| Live stories | new articles added every 15 minutes; summary rewritten at most hourly |
| Home page order | every 15 minutes |
New facts go into a dated update log at the top of the story. New articles carry an “Added” tag. If a note or list changes, the earlier version stays viewable.
A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing. Each story shows how many of India’s 15 largest outlets we read. The launch pipeline will read outlets’ public feeds, TV transcripts and Hindi articles.
