Jansatta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jansatta is a leading Hindi daily belonging to the Indian Express Group. The newspaper is published from Delhi and Kolkata. It has a good readership base in the Hindi-speaking belt of Northern and Eastern India. Noted Indian journalist Prabhash Joshi is the founder editor of Jansatta and now serving as its consulting editor. Jansatta is one of the few Hindi dailies which is known for its national perspective. However, the newspaper is available only through print version and out of reach in non-Hindi speaking Indian states and outside India.

In Hindi, 'jan' means people and 'satta' means government. Therefore, one can appropriately recognize the meaning of 'Jansatta' as people's mandate. The newspaper is known for its sincere and courageous journalism.

The four pages Sunday's special magazine of Jansatta is called 'Ravivari Jansatta'. The newspaper also publishes an annual journal around Diwali or New Year which is dedicated to Indian literature, cultural & environmental issues, and reviews on important events of the year.
