Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets covered the event identically: a 17-member US delegation visited KIIT and KISS, 10 members received the KKIO Lifetime Achievement Award, and the guests praised the institutions. Each report named the same awardees, cited the same India Trek programme dates, and quoted the same praise for the students’ discipline. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible editorial slant across kalingatv.com, deccanchronicle.com and odishabytes.com. The visit itself, not any political or policy implication, was the single story.
