Newspapers
The
pioneering venture in the field of Malayalam journalism
is associated with Kannur district. Dr. H. Gundert,
the famous lexicographer, started two of the earliest
Malayalam newspapers from Thalassery in 1847. They
were the Rajyasmacharam and Paschimodayam. The former
commenced publication in June 1847 and the latter,
in October the same year.
The Rajyasamacharam was devoted mainly to Christian
missionary activities. Most of the articles in the
Paschimodayam were written by Dr. Gundert himself
and they were later collected and published by him
in a book form in Kerala Pazhama, Pazhama, and Malayalarajyam.
With the advent of modern electronic communication
technology, the major dailies in the state, viz.,
Mathrubhoomi, Malayala Manorama, Deepika and Deshabimani
have started their units here in recent years. The
evening dailies are alive and popular. Padayani, Sudinam,
Spotanam, Cannanore Times, Suchana and Chethana are
some of them. |
