The Hindu has been a part of Chennai’s chief media channels since 1878, the year when it was established. Headquartered at Chennai, the newspaper has always been gaining popularity ever since it set foot in the print media. The newspaper began as weekly broadsheet, which went through the transformation of becoming a tri-weekly one, due to lack of funds. But later on in 1889 with the help of the funds provided by a Maharaja ruling Madras during this period, the newspaper became an evening daily.
The Hindu was started as a platform for protest against the discrimination by the British as well as Anglo-Indian society on the Hindus of south India. The name of the newspaper was inspired by the section it supported at that time and this is one of the reasons why people in the southern part of India have an emotional connect with the newspaper.
Initially the newspaper was running in losses and had to indulge into classified advertising on the front page and a number of other pages at the back of the newspaper. This resulted in compromising on the content and quality of news which was reported to the pre-independence audience. But the external funds helped the Hindu a great deal in creating a name for this now popular broadsheet as one if the best newspapers in terms of news and quality of reporting. The newspaper came to be owned by the Kasturi & Sons and is run by generations of a particular family.
From here on it has come to the position of being the 3rd most widely read English daily of India and has managed to establish a very strong hold on the South Indian market. The Hindu is the first preference for readers as well as advertisers across the entire south Indian region, for all categori0es of advertising.
