List of all Newspapers in Gujarat
The newspaper industry in Gujarat boasts a rich history rooted in the Gujarati language press, which played a significant role in social reforms, education, and the Indian independence movement. The oldest continuously published newspaper in Asia, Bombay Samachar (also known as Mumbai Samachar), was founded in 1822 in Mumbai by Fardoonji Marzban and remains a key Gujarati daily serving the community. In Gujarat itself, early publications emerged in the 19th century, with titles like Gujarat Mitra and others contributing to vernacular journalism. This tradition fostered a strong reading culture among Gujaratis, making the state one of India's most avid consumers of print media.
Today, Gujarat's newspaper landscape is dominated by major Gujarati dailies, with Divya Bhaskar, Gujarat Samachar, and Sandesh leading in circulation and readership. Divya Bhaskar, launched in 2003, quickly became the most widely read due to its aggressive marketing and extensive coverage across cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara. Gujarat Samachar and Sandesh follow closely, offering comprehensive local, national, and international news, often with strong regional focus. English-language newspapers, such as editions of The Times of India and Indian Express, are also popular in urban areas, complementing the vibrant Gujarati press that continues to thrive despite digital competition.
