MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN CHENNAI

The regional publishing market operates as a heavily bilingual industry split between historic English-language broadsheets and high-circulation Tamil dailies. Leading the vernacular press is Daily Thanthi, a legacy paper founded in 1942 that ranks among the nation's most widely read Tamil publications. It competes directly with the Sun Network-owned Dinakaran and the prominent family-owned daily Dinamalar. Specialized financial news is anchored by Business Line, an English broadsheet published by The Hindu Group. Paperboy lists 27 newspapers in Chennai.
