Zee News has established itself as one of the leading news broadcasters in India, offering coverage of national and international events, politics, business, sports, and entertainment.

Zee News has played a significant role in shaping public opinion through its news reporting and debates, often focusing on issues of national interest. The channel has also expanded its digital presence, making its content accessible through various online platforms. However, like many news organizations, Zee News has faced criticism and controversies over the years, particularly concerning the accuracy of its reporting and the sensationalism of certain news stories.

BOOM highlighted an instance where Zee News, along with another mainstream channel, Times Now, made an embarrassing error.

They revived a 2016 video and misidentified the speaker to claim that Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, had said 'Jai Siya Ram' while addressing the Indian diaspora. This video was circulated as part of the coverage during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the UAE, but BOOM found that the claim was false and the context was misrepresented.
