Fake News, Deepfake, AI, Jumla, Toolkit....The antennas go up on the incessant news being fed on social media, TV, phones, websites or papers. Is this for real, can it be true, am I being had?
Many political parties have given a lot of guarantees on a lot of things--some too tall to fulfill, some too little to matter.
But the Outlook reporters, who are travelling all over the country to bring stories on the elections, from the remotest of regions to meet the poorest of the people, undertake this solemn guarantee towards its readers and viewers that their report is genuine, it is unbiased, it is factual, it is objective, it is balanced, and above all, that it is true.

00:01 - Hello, this is Rakhi Bose,
00:03 Assistant Editor with Outlook.
00:04 I am part of Outlook's ground coverage team
00:07 for the Lok Sabha 2024 elections.
00:09 For the first phase of elections,
00:10 I will be visiting Uttar Pradesh.
00:12 Eight seats are going to polls on April 19th
00:15 in the first phase of elections.
00:16 The seats are in Western UP
00:18 and Uttar Pradesh is an interesting state
00:20 because it sends 80 MPs to the Lok Sabha
00:23 and it's one of the biggest states politically
00:25 in the country.
00:26 Usually the state politics revolves around
00:28 caste and religion, but there are other issues,
00:30 for instance, unemployment, farmers issues
00:33 that at this time going to have an impact.
00:35 I'm hoping to speak to the people there
00:37 and get a voice from the ground.
00:39 What kind of political alignments are taking place?
00:41 What are the people looking for?
00:43 What kind of changes people want in the region?
