List of Indian journalists includes all journalists from India who write in one of many official languages of the nation. The journalists in the list have been recognised in one of the following ways:

  1. Indian journalists who have made influential people lists: Ramnath Goenka made India Today's list of 100 most influential people in modern India. WAN-IFRA has profiled Ramnath Goenka, V. K. Hamzah, Kalki Krishnamurthy, and Bal Thackeray.
  2. International award winners from India: Arun Shourie is the only Indian journalist listed as a World Press Freedom hero.[1] Winners of the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Communication Arts include Amitabha Chowdhury (1961), Boobli George Verghese (1975), Gour Kishore Ghosh (1981), Arun Shourie (1982), R. K. Laxman (1984), Palagummi Sainath (2007).
  3. Journalists from India who were confirmed killed, murdered or assassinated while working or as a result of their journalism. Their status is typically confirmed by the Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, International Federation of Journalists and International Press Institute.
  4. Subjective lists of important Indian journalists: One article lists Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, Vikram Chandra (NDTV), Shireen Bhan, and Udayan Mukherjee as the top five journalists of India, while a list by the same media outlet adds Karan Thapar.[2][3]
