Media is the fourth pillar of democracy. The media should be free and put forth genuine happenings of society. Newspapers, which are physical printed forms of media, are very important for the development and guidance of society. The language of the newspaper is based on the local language of the people living in that state or country.
Tamil newspapers are printed and circulated in the TamilNadu State of India, where Tamil is their local language. The news in these papers is split up into the national news, state news, local district news, sports, and cinema news. Tamil newspapers have a huge impact on state politics during elections. Tamil newspapers are also printed in countries like Singapore, Canada, Malaysia for the Tamil community people staying there.
The list of the 10 best Tamil newspapers in Tamilnadu is as follows
Dinathanthi Tamil Newspapers

More than seven decades ago, Si. Balasubramania Aditan, fondly known as Aditanar, a Tamil lawyer, politician, the minister found himself inspired by popular Western publications and realized there was an urgent need for a Tamil newspaper that could reach the masses through engaging content and easy to understand language. On November 1, 1942, he launched Daily Thanthi, which rapidly rose to the top to become the largest circulated daily in Tamil Nadu, and the fifth largest read newspaper in the country.
The man behind this fruitful journey, Aditanar, was not just a media-savvy businessman, but a respected statesman as well. He was the founder of the We Tamils party, served as a member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly for four terms, and was the speaker of the Assembly during 1967–68. He was also Tamil Nadu’s minister for Cooperation in M Karunanidhi’s cabinets of 1969 and 1971. In his memory, two annual Tamil literary awards have been set up to honor his legendary love for the language.
When he established Daily Than¬thi in 1942, it went on to become the flagship of his newspaper business. He expanded operations by opening additional editions in Tirunelveli, Madras, Salem, and Tiruchirapalli in the 1940s. Aditanar’s legacy was expanded upon by his son Dr. Sivanthi Adit¬yan (24 September 1936 – 19 April 2013) who had the vision to launch the first Tamil eveninger, Maalai Murasu at Tirunelveli in 1959. Dr. Adityan was a multi-faceted per¬sonality, who took on the roles of an educationist, industrialist, and philanthropist with equal ease. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 2008 by the Government of India. He was an avid sportsman, and his passion saw him at the helm of the Indian Olympic Association from 1987 to 1996.
Under his leadership, Daily Than¬thi was published across 15 cities across the country and became the most-read Tamil daily. In 2012, Dr Adityan went on to launch a Tamil news channel, Thanthi TV, and a radio station Hello FM.

Theekkathir
THEEKKATIR Newspaper has completed its Golden Jubilee on 29th June 2013. Now it is advancing towards its Diamond Jubilee on 2023. It was a rough and tough journey throughout the years. Theekkatir was born as a weapon for the ideological fight within the Communist Party of India. The pioneers of that ideological fight named the paper THEEKKATHIR, which means ‘ the spark of fire’. The word was derived from ‘ISKRA’ , a Russian newspaper that had been managed by Comrade Lenin.
The paper also ran a number of notable polemics against “economists”, who argued against political struggle in favor of pure trade-union activity for the worker’s economic interests, as well as the Socialist Revolutionaries, who advocated terror tactics. As outlined by Lenin in What Is To Be Done?, Iskra took the place of a central project to cohere the RSDLP nationally.) It was June 29, 1963, when Theekkathir was started as a weekly organ from Chennai with the fund collected by Coimbatore mill workers.
Its first editor was Comrade Arputhasamy, fondly called as Appu. When the Communist Party of India (Marxist) was formed in 1964, Theekkathir became the official organ of the Party’s Tamilnadu state committee and its regular edition was launched in 1969 at Madurai, a stronghold of the Party. Theekkathir became a daily newspaper in 1971 with headquarters at Madurai. The paper’s second edition was started in Chennai in 1993. It was inaugurated by Comrade EMS Namboodiripad.
Its third edition, in a multi-color form, was launched from the industrial city of Coimbatore on May 23, 2007. It was inaugurated by CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat. The fourth edition from Tiruchirapalli was inaugurated by CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury on September 5, 2010. Digital Edition of the paper was launched on 23rd February 2012 by Prakash Karat, General Secreatsry of the party at Nagapattinam.
From the very first day, Theekkathir established itself, in a militant and vibrant journey, as an organiser of the Party and as a spokesperson in the political-social history of modern Tamil Nadu. It played a crucial role in the history of class struggles of the working class in Tamil Nadu for the past 58 years. Under the editorship of the veteran leaders of the CPI(M) M R Venkatraman, N Sankarish, K Muthiah, and V Meenakshi Sundaram, W R Varadharajan, V.Parameshwaran the daily’s contributions for the buildup of the Party, class, and mass organizations as well as imparting Party education have been priceless.
In this connection , Theekkathir is remembering the veteran leaders, who dedicated themselves for the growth of the paper, late Comrades P. Ramamurthi, M. R. Venkatraman, A. Balasubramaniyam, A. Nallasivan, R.Ramaraj, A.Abdul Wahab, N.Varadharajan, S.S.Giri and V.Sundaram. The newspaper had to undergo strict censorship during the Emergency from 1975-1977. Despite the restrictions, the newspaper could conduct an active campaign against Emergency. During the time, Theekkathir was published without an editorial which symbolized the people’s strong resentment towards the government.
The paper was the first to trigger a public debate on the dangers of globalization in the country. Detailed reports were published on the future dangers in each sector. The newspaper introduced to the public anti-globalization campaigns in different parts of the world. Theekkathir also takes pride in forecasting the possible destruction of Babri Masjid by Sangh Parivar forces. The Indian Government’s subservience to the US in nuclear policy and the dangers of the Nuclear Agreement with that country were revealed by “Theekkathir”. Communist newspapers helped Tamil Nadu to retain the spirit of the fight and stride towards commendable social development.
Theekkathir also fights against the trend of portraying anti-socials as gentlemen with the help of mainstream media. Ideologies that take sides with people’s interests will only have the ultimate win. The present-day experience proves that the stand of Communist newspapers was quite relevant in the context of social progress. Communist media in Tamil Nadu have a great tradition of helping and preserving social progress.
This tradition helps Theekkathir to expose contemporary issues and to make use of scientific and technological advancements for people’s welfare. Modernisation will only help the newspaper to effectively reach out to the people and take up their issues. Now the paper is run by Toiling Masses Welfare Trust, Tamil Nadu under the publishership MNS Venkattaraman and the editorship of C.Ramalingam, both state secretariate members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Tamil Nadu state committee.
