Claim :A viral post attributed to Joseph Hope, the editor-in-chief of The New York Times, has emerged praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

An article falsely attributed to Joseph Hope, the editor-in-chief of The New York Times has been widely shared on social media platforms. Numerous X and Facebook users claimed that it was published by the renowned newspaper.
In this article, Narendra Modi is lauded as follows: "Narendra Modi's primary aim is to elevate India into a better country. If left unchecked, India has the potential to become the most powerful nation in the world in the future. This will be a surprise even to countries like the USA, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Japan."
Upon searching the social media with keywords like "Narendra Modi, Joseph Hope," multiple related posts on Facebook and tweets on X surfaced. However, we failed to locate any instance of the mentioned viral post being published in The New York Times. Our investigation into the editor's name revealed that it is Joseph Kahn, the Executive Editor, and not Joseph Hope, the Editor-in-Chief as claimed by the post.
Additionally, we discovered that this fabricated article has been circulating since 2021. India Today has also published a fact-check story concerning the same post. Boomlive, a fact-checking website, reached out to The New York Times' Director of Communications, Nicole Taylor, who confirmed the falseness of the viral post. It was clarified that the Executive Editor at the time was Dean Baquet.
The Logical Indian also conducted a fact-check on this viral post. In January 2021, The New York Times officially stated that the viral post was indeed fake. This information can be verified through the tweet provided below:

The numerous grammatical errors and language discrepancies present in the viral article cast doubt on its authenticity, as they fail to meet the editorial standards set by 'The New York Times.'
Interestingly, we discovered an independent researcher named Joseph Hope, who is recognized for his work with Asia Times. However, no articles matching the viral post were found under his name.
In conclusion, the claim circulating on social media that NYT editor-in-chief Joseph Hope authored an article praising PM Modi is unequivocally false. Neither Joseph Hope nor anyone else at 'The New York Times' has authored such an article about the Indian Prime Minister. (link- https://www.nytco.com/
