At the India Today Conclave 2026, veteran editors from India Today held a mock editorial discussion that revealed how major stories are debated and selected inside a newsroom.
During the discussion, editors proposed several important topics for the magazine’s next cover story. One editor highlighted the growing energy crisis affecting middle-class families, restaurants, and schools. Another strongly emphasized ground reporting, saying major stories cannot be covered properly from a distance.
The editors also discussed how recent global events, including tensions involving Iran, have reshaped perceptions of India’s role in the world.
Several story ideas were debated, including:
Inside coverage from Iran
Energy shortages and rising costs
New warfare technologies
Domestic issues such as proposed social media restrictions in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka
The discussion also highlighted India Today’s founding editorial principle: not just reporting what happened, but explaining why it happened and what happens next.
Editors stressed that the magazine has a long tradition of sending reporters directly to conflict zones and major events instead of relying only on desk reporting.
