Funding at ABC Live – Sustaining Independent Journalism Through Research Services
A Self-Funded, Research-Driven News Platform for an Informed India
At ABC Live, we believe that authentic journalism must be both independent and sustainable. Unlike most media outlets, we do not rely on advertising, political funding, or corporate sponsorships.
Instead, ABC Live generates revenue by offering high-quality, evidence-based research services to institutions, think tanks, legal forums, environmental bodies, and policy-focused organizations.
This model allows us to maintain editorial independence while building a knowledge-based media ecosystem that benefits all.
