Thiruvananthapuram: The State Govt will be launching its own newspaper and web portal (kerelanews.in.) under the aegis of the Public Relations Department. In the first phase, the govt plans to bring out the newspaper on a weekly basis and later it would be made a daily. Preparations are on for the launch in February.

Govt has already registered the name of the newspaper as 'vikasana samanwayam'.

The Govt may consider other alternative names but since it demands too much of a time, it would be published under the same title till another well suited name is accepted.

PRD deputy director K Manojkumar has been assigned with the charge of both the newspaper and the web portal.

MInister K C Joseph said that the need for a Govt newspaper arose from the fact that the development news of the state and the plans of the government rarely get published and hence there is need to start its own newspaper.

Journalism graduates would be appointed as local reporters in all blocks and remuneration given according to the news value.

The newspaper distribution across the state would be done through various Govt establishments like kudumbasree units. Printing would be carried out in the Govt press. In the first phase, the newspaper would be published from Thiruvananthapuarm.
