The Printers Mysore ownership group publishes two of the region's most prominent titles: the Deccan Herald, an English daily founded in 1948, and its Kannada sister publication, Prajavani Kannada. Additional local reporting comes from the morning daily Kannada Prabha, while specialty print editions like the Hindu Business Line focus strictly on financial markets.
