Suprabhaatham put a land mark in the history of Indian Journalism
Suprabhaatham put a land mark in the history of Indian Journalism. No newspaper in India, except Suprabhaatham, has started publishing with six editions and six lakhs copies in the very first day. There are a lot of media establishments in Kerala including print media. All of the newspapers started with very few copies and achieved prosperity only after a struggle of long years. But, with the grace of the Almighty we could take off easily by achieving the third largest newspaper in Malayalam.
Though, Suprabhaatham is only an infant in Malayalam journalism, the Enlighted readers admit that it has acquired maturity by birth and set new trends in Malayalam journalism within a short period. We are trying to restructure the way of news presentation. We believe in change according to the need of the reading community.
At the same time we are against the violation of ethics in journalism. News should be factual. No journalist or news paper establishment has the right to distort real news to appease any section. We understand that journalism should be away from partialism. So, the goal of Suprabhaatham, is to establish an unbiased news culture.
