Hindustan Times, one of India’s leading English language daily newspapers, has entered into an exclusive content partnership with The Washington Post, for India.

Starting January 1, Hindustan Times will carry columns and articles from the Post and Newsweek on an exclusive basis in India.

This is HT Media’s second major collaboration with an international media brand. Its business paper, Mint, which is now the country’s second-largest read business daily, has a very successful collaboration since its inception in February 2007 with News Corp.’s The Wall Street Journal.

Hindustan Times Editor-in-Chief Sanjoy Narayan said, “This partnership between The Washington Post and Hindustan Times is actually a meeting of minds and a joining of forces that will arm Hindustan Times readers to take on the world around them every day.”

The Post Managing Editor Raju Narisetti said, “The Washington Post is pleased that Hindustan Times, with its large audience base, has chosen to provide its readers in India content from the Post and Newsweek on an exclusive basis for English language newspapers. India’s growing role on a global stage makes readers in India a natural audience for the Post.”
