A media conclave on the very relevant topic-‘Does media alter public perception’ was held as the part of the launch, during which Mr Jalali kept forth some of the prevailing trends in media, which conveniently not just shapes the public perception, but also creates one. The session was moderated by Karnataka Today Editor A Ram Babu.

New foray

On November 5, 2015, Spearhead Media, the mother organisation of Newskarnataka.com diversified and ventured into yet another avenue of media-the print, by launching its ambitious monthly magazine ‘Karnataka Today‘.

The magazine headed by veteran journalist A Ram Babu has already caught the eyes of the readers with its superior print quality, aesthetic layout and most importantly, relevant, unbiased and extensive coverage of issues impacting India in general and Karnataka in particular.
Walking firmly on the idea of providing fact-based, analytical news features and information appealing to all sections of non-specialist readers, Karnataka Today stands head held high with two impactful editions and third edition is just a few days away.

Humble start

With the vision of ‘Educate, Enlighten, Empower and Enable positive changes’, newskarnataka.com, was started in May 2012 in Kannada.

However, the response to the website and the quest to diversity prompted the team to start an English news portal in March 17, 2013, thus bringing into existence two exclusive portals -newskarnataka.com, catering to English readers and newskannada.com, dedicated to Kannada reader base.
