🖋️ “A newspaper is not just paper and ink, it is the heartbeat of a nation.”

On 29 January 1780, Hicky’s Bengal Gazette, India’s first newspaper, was published by James Augustus Hicky, marking the beginning of journalism in India.

Newspapers have since played a vital role in spreading awareness, shaping public opinion, and strengthening democracy with truthful information.

Let’s appreciate the power of print and the journalists who keep society informed.
