OrissaPOST

In September 2010 the Odia-language daily Dharitri, founded in 1974, announced that it would launch the English daily Orissa Post the following year, with planned editions from Rayagada, Bhubaneswar, Sambalpur, Angul and Balasore, aimed at educated young people in the state and young non-natives working there.⁠[1]

OrissaPOST was launched on April 1, 2011, the 75th anniversary of Odisha’s formation as a separate state, to give English-reading Odias “an unbiased 360-degree coverage of Odisha”; it also publishes the Sunday supplement Sunday POST.⁠[2]

In March 2015, ahead of its fourth anniversary, OrissaPOST held a meeting of its writers. Editor Tathagata Satpathy said the paper was printed from four locations, its circulation was growing and it had moved past the stage where rising circulation meant losses; its chief executive was Adyasha Satpathy.⁠[3]
