For a century, Hindustan Times has been more than a newspaper – it has been the chronicler of India’s destiny. From the struggle for independence to the birth of the world’s largest democracy, from moments of national glory to global challenges, Hindustan Times has stood unwavering as a beacon of journalistic integrity and national conscience.
A Legacy of Trust
On September 22, 1924, Hindustan Times embarked on a mission to become the authentic voice of a nation in the making. Rooted in Delhi, it quickly became intertwined with India’s freedom movement, echoing the aspirations of millions. For 100 years, HT has been more than a paper of record – it has been a living archive of India’s triumphs, trials, and transformations.
A year-long celebration of illuminating History
To honour this remarkable milestone, Hindustan Times is launching a grand, year-long centenary celebration. This extended commemoration will feature a series of events, special publications, and community engagements that reflect on the past and also look forward. Hindustan Times is transforming its iconic HT House on KG Marg into a canvas of national memory. From September 22nd to 28th, as dusk falls, the building will come alive with a breathtaking visual narrative. This week-long spectacle will project India’s journey onto the very walls that have housed a century of journalism, reinforcing Hindustan Times’ role as the ‘Voice of the Nation. Since 1924.’
A Message from Leadership
Praveen Someshwar, MD & CEO of HT Media, reflects on this momentous occasion: “As we mark this extraordinary centennial, we are profoundly grateful for the enduring trust of our readers and partners. They are the lifeblood of our century-long journey, relying on Hindustan Times to deliver not just news, but insight, context and inspiration. It is their unwavering faith that has empowered us to stand resolute as the Voice of the Nation, guiding public discourse, informing citizens, and shaping the contours of our collective future.”
Centenary Celebrations
The centenary celebrations will continue through the year and will have an integrated campaign across print, digital, and social platforms, showcasing their legacy and commitment to the future. As part of this grand commemoration on September 22, 2024, Hindustan Times released a Special Centenary Edition, that explores defining moments in India’s history with the Hindustan Times; and is a treasure trove of historical insights, iconic front pages, and reflections on India’s journey through the lens of Hindustan Times.
