MUMBAI: Nearly five years since its launch, India’s leading news website, The Federal, has launched its Karnataka edition — in Kannada. It is in keeping with The Federal’s aim to look at India from the perspective of States. The Karnataka offering follows the recent launch of the Telangana edition, which has already sparked great interest in that State.“With the launch of the Karnataka edition, we reiterate our commitment to deliver quality journalism in various languages across states,” said S Srinivasan, Editor-in Chief of The Federal.
“The aim is to provide in-depth news stories reported and curated by our journalists across genres. Along with original reportage in Kannada, select articles and videos will be sourced and featured from The Federal’s various editions. With this, discerning readers across States will get access to better journalism in their preferred languages, he added.”
C Rajamani, the CEO of New Generation Media, emphasised, “Launching The Federal in multiple languages underscores our commitment to inclusivity and global accessibility. At The Federal, we believe in delivering news that transcends borders, resonates with every reader, and makes sense in any language.”
For The Federal the foray into the various states is an exciting, yet challenging attempt given the fast evolving media scenario in terms of technology, content, and news preferences. The new platform hopes to show a vibrant Karnataka to the world, and vice-versa, with a fresh perspective.
The Federal-Karnataka is led by senior journalist Muralidhara Khajane, recognized and well respected in the state for his expertise and professionalism.
