About Us

Since its inception in 1957, Varthamana has stood tall as one of the most trusted and respected Kannada daily newspapers. With deep roots in the rich cultural landscape of Karnataka, Varthamana continues to be the voice of the people, championing truth, transparency, and the values that define the region. Established with a strong commitment to ethical journalism, our newspaper has consistently provided comprehensive coverage, authentic news, and insightful editorials for over six decades. Today, under the dynamic leadership of Editor K. N. Ravi, Varthamana shines even brighter, blending a proud heritage with a modern outlook to meet the evolving needs of readers across the state. Our presence in the digital space, through Varthamana Digital, ensures that our trusted news and regional stories reach a wider audience faster and with greater impact.

Varthamana’s influence spans across eight key districts — Mandya, Mysuru, Hassan, Madikeri, Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Chamarajanagara, and Ramanagara — with deep penetration in what is fondly known as the “Hale Mysore Region.” Our dedicated team of journalists and correspondents work tirelessly to deliver up-to-date, reliable news covering politics, culture, business, education, and local developments. Each edition of Varthamana reflects the pulse of the people, with special attention given to the traditions, festivals, and voices that make our regions unique. With a strong print presence and an ever-growing digital footprint, Varthamana Digital ensures that our rich Kannada heritage is preserved and celebrated while adapting seamlessly to the modern digital era.

With heritage at heart and innovation in hand, Varthamana under K. N. Ravi’s stewardship has embraced the future without forgetting its roots. Our transition into the digital realm, through Varthamana Digital, reaffirms our commitment to quality journalism while making news more accessible to a global Kannada-speaking audience. Whether in print or online, our focus remains steadfast: to inform, engage, and empower our readers with credible, timely, and culturally resonant content. As we move forward, we are proud to carry the legacy of Varthamana, continually setting high standards in Kannada journalism and remaining a beacon of trust and excellence for generations to come.
