APN News was built by a journalist who came up through Indian television news. Rajshri Rai, a law graduate who reported for NDTV and anchored and produced national programmes across several networks, founded India Legal and became managing director and editor-in-chief of APN News, owned by Sobhagaya Media Pvt Ltd. The channel runs as a 24-hour Hindi news and current affairs broadcaster from a five-acre complex in Sector 68 of Noida, under the tagline "Khabar Hai To Dikhegee," meaning roughly if it is news, it will be shown. Editorial operations are headed by Inderjit Badhwar, who spent two decades in the United States publishing in the Washington Post, led the India Today editorial team for more than a decade, headed the Sahara TV network, and won France's best foreign debut novel prize in 2004. Staffing runs to 201 to 500. This domain is the English site; the Hindi edition runs at apnnews.in. Today, APN News is mainly focused on Indian national and state politics with a concentration on the Hindi heartland, parliament and elections, world news, technology and regulation, sport, entertainment and lifestyle, from their base in Noida, India. One interesting fact: Its editorial head won France's most prestigious international award for best foreign debut novel in 2004, an honour previously given to Salman Rushdie for Shame. The book was originally titled Sniffing Papa.
