Zee news website relaunched with a new look
MUMBAI: The first Hindi news channel in the Indian television market — Zee News’s webiste zeenews.com will sport a new look starting 20 December.
According to an official release, the new look comes complete with a revamped strategy for a marked departure from the mundane. Fresh, vibrant, contemporary and colourful, the emphasis is as much on aesthetic appeal as it is on news worthiness.
However, Zee News promises to retain the reporting edge, instant updates, comprehensive character, in-depth analysis, international flavour and relevance in the new offering also. Only the presentation of the site has been greatly enhanced. Neither is the transformation restricted to aesthetics alone.
The latest topics of the moment, raging controversies, burning issues, latest fads, fleeting fashions, all are given their due share of coverage with special reports, write-ups, special editions and more on the site.
Infusing vibrancy is a clickable picture gallery that is being introduced for the first time. An added new feature that merits mention is From The Past, a section devoted to new findings and discoveries that shed new light on historic events of the past. Also sporting a brand new look is the NRI edition with a completely revamped design and extra elements to appeal to the overseas Indian.
Superior technology has been incorporated for greater speed and ease of navigation. Access to sub-sections has been made quicker and easier. The browsing experience on zeenews.com is taken to a new level altogether, the release adds.

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
