Thekar is a Karbi daily newspaper published from Diphu, Assam. It is the highest circulated Karbi daily in North East India.[citation needed] As of 2008, it was one of the only two Karbi-language dailies in Karbi Anglong district,[1] The Thekar has wide reach among the people in terms of circulation figures as well as the reliability of the news matter.[citation needed]
The newspaper was founded with the name Angtong in the year 2004, as a weekly newspaper, but due to the opposition of the title by activist group Karbi Youth Organisation (KYO), the name was changed to Thekar.[citation needed] It started as a weekly, then biweekly and later into triweekly. It became a daily newspaper on 21 September 2005. The publication later expanded with an English daily "The Hills Review" and a cable TV "KAT Channel".[citation needed]
Contribution to Karbi Languageedit
Before the advent of Karbi dailies in the early 2000s, there were little research on Karbi language. Karbi dailies contributed immensely to the research and development of the same. The media group (newspaper) has become the platform for improving written Karbi language, as the language has no written form. Many young writers are involved in improving the language by setting rules and coining new words through research, open discussion, etc.[citation needed]
