The Pioneer (daily)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pioneer is an English language newspaper in India. The Pioneer is published from Delhi, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, Kochi, Bhopal and Chandigarh. It earlier had a full fledged Kanpur edition too. It started a Mumbai edition a few years back but withdrew it because of tough coimpetition. Its a medium size newspaper, which tried to make it big in the 1990s with the high profile launch of their Delhi edition, with Mr. Vinod Mehta (the founder editor of Debonair and later, Outlook) at the helm. Mr. Chandan Mitra runs the show now.
During the British Raj the pioneer was aimed at the whites in India. The Pioneer was noted for its strongly imperialist stance. The Pioneer denounced Lord Irwin (Viceroy of India 1926-31) as a 'Bolshevik' because of his moderate handling of the Indian nationalist movement.
