Dinamalar, the iconic Tamil daily newspaper, remains Tamil Nadu’s most trusted news source even in 2026 yaar. Founded in 1951 by T.V. Ramasubba Iyer in Chennai, this 77-year-old media giant still commands a massive readership of over 2.5 million copies daily across Tamil Nadu.
Honestly, in today’s digital age, Dinamalar has managed to stay relevant both in print and online, which is pretty impressive for a traditional newspaper.
