The news desert atlas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
Computed per mandal · 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30
We can speak for none of the 1309 mandals in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in this window: no district listing we hold was reached inside it. Every cell below is "not measured", which is a statement about our reach and not about the press.
How to read this
- Not measured
- 1,309 mandals · computed per mandalWe did not reach this mandal's district listing inside the window, so we have no basis for saying anything about coverage here — including that there is none. This is a statement about our reach, not about the press.
- Measured — coverage found
- 0 mandals · computed per mandalWe reached this mandal's district listing inside the window and found stories datelined here.
- Measured — little coverage
- 0 mandals · computed per mandalWe reached the district listing and found coverage below the threshold printed on this page. Not reachable in this edition: the judgement needs a population denominator we do not have.
No mandal is classified as a desert in this edition. That judgement is a threshold over stories per head of population, and per-constituency population is not published in India — the census and delimitation figures are per district, and deriving one from the other is a modelling assumption, not a measurement. This atlas therefore publishes counts and coverage states, never coverage per capita.
Nothing here is ranked. Ordering 1,309 mandals by a count invites a top-20 reading, and about 65 of them would test unusual by chance alone at the conventional threshold. We have no per-mandal significance test to correct with, so this is a list with its counts and its order is alphabetical.
Every district, and how much of it we can speak for
Computed per mandal. Districts are listed alphabetically; open one to see its mandals. Story counts are over the mandals we measured — an unmeasured mandal contributes no zero, because its zero is ours and not the district’s.

A dash in a count column means no mandal in that district was measured in this window, so there is no count to report. It does not mean zero stories.
