Which of the following websites primarily functions as an online news portal?

Concept

A news website primarily gathers, edits, and publishes reports about current events through an identifiable editorial organization.

The classification should be based on the website’s main public function, not merely on the fact that it is available on the Internet.

Application

New Delhi Television operates NDTV.com as its digital publishing domain, where it provides current-affairs reports, articles, and live updates. Therefore, NDTV.com fits the defining function of an online news portal.

Contrast

• Naptol.com is primarily associated with online retail and televised home shopping.

• Hotstar.com is primarily associated with streaming entertainment and sports content.

• Hoot.com is associated with home-search, real-estate, and mortgage services rather than editorial publishing.

• NDTV.com is operated by New Delhi Television as a digital publishing destination for current-affairs coverage.

Result

Hence, among the given websites, NDTV.com is the news website.
