PR piece created by a social media marketeer who along with promoting clients has also been doing self promotion. On the face of it, this looks like it has reasonable references, but then on deeper look (English and Hindi) it's completely based on regurgitated press releases. The Tribune piece is in it's internet section "Gyan Zone" which is for user submitted content, the Punjab Kesari (Hindi) piece is in the local entertainment section as a PR piece, The Dainik Jagran link is also a web consolidation of the PR piece. There's also been a lot of socking involved with different socks addressing different article groups (some of which is visible in the history of this article and that of the director/creator) —SpacemanSpiff 07:37, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't have to call any of this a PR hack, their PR agency has already done so, slides 3,4 -- "News based announcements" (read: paid news, which is why Gyan zone isn't part of the print version of Tribune) and have cited this as an example further down. The above link to Newznew is obviously not reliable -- "A New concept cropped up “NewZNew.com”. Presenting first news as it happens. The only thought of presenting without twisting and as quickly as possible. My own initiative is to collect information, analyse and present. Welcome to NewZnew !", just a blog with a domain name run by cpgrafix.in. There's also the fact that cpgrafix.in was involved in another paid COI PR hack on here, I can't remember which one, maybe Brianhe has memory of it. —SpacemanSpiff 03:38, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not recall this name. Maybe you were thinking of the fake newspaper Bangalorean? At any rate, E-cell, cpgrafix and newznew appear to all be the same individuals as described here which should be taken into account when evaluating sources. Brianhe (talk) 07:03, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
