Rozana Spokesman - India

What Rozana Spokesman - India does

Rozana Spokesman is a regional Punjabi-language media house founded in 2015 and operated by Jagjit Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd, headquartered in Mohali, Punjab, India. The company publishes a daily newspaper in Punjabi across print and digital formats, operates a web TV platform (Rozana Spokesman TV), and runs Rozana Spokesman Fact Check, an autonomous fact-checking unit established in January 2021 under the Green Media proprietorship that has debunked over 1,000 misleading claims. Its product portfolio is delivered through a multi-channel stack comprising the rozanaspokesman.com website with an integrated e-paper, plus presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and ShareChat, with content covering Punjab, national, world, sports, entertainment, farming, and Punjabi-diaspora topics in Punjabi and (selectively) Hindi and English.

Rozana Spokesman generates revenue through three disclosed streams: digital advertising from Meta and Google platforms (49% of revenue), commercial corporate advertisements from local brands and corporates (21%), and content production for State/Central government welfare schemes and policy outreach programmes (30%). The company sells no paid reader subscriptions — the audience consumes content for free and the company monetizes via ads and contracted content production. Its primary customers are Punjabi-speaking residents of Punjab and the global Punjabi diaspora (notably in Canada, USA, and Italy), with a secondary B2G customer base of Indian state and central government departments. Revenue concentration with two ad-tech platforms and government contracts is notable; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

The technology stack is a conventional digital-media CMS coupled with e-paper rendering and social media distribution. The proprietary differentiator highlighted by the company is the editorial methodology of its fact-check unit, including claim selection, ground-level verification, and transparent publishing — recognized by peer fact-check organizations Boom Live and Alt News. The company maintains an international office in Urbana Champaign, Illinois, to serve diaspora readers, and operates editorially under a stated non-partisanship policy that bars funding from politicians or parties.
