ANDHRA JYOTHI
A Historical Necessity

The New Age demands a new newspaper!
Where every alphabet will have to be an arsenal in itself!!

A newspaper wakes you up. A vibrant newspaper shakes your conscience. The need of the hour is beyond this simplification. Hence, the re-launching of, in a way the rebirth of, Andhra Jyothi.

Only those who race with the changing times, who use cutting-edge technologies to deliver the goods, and who peep into the distant futures with proper perspectives are the ones who could really strum out the arrows with precision. They are the people who have the ability to hit the bull's-eye.

Andhra Jyothi has such greatly committed, well-groomed, exceedingly professional soldiers. They have the guts, and we are proud that they are our commanders who have taken the decisive positions. As you may have noticed the loaded guns of our lieutenants have already triggered off the alphabets that zoomed past like the unfailing bullets. And we assure they will continue to do so.

As has ever been, it will be a battle fought every day on behalf of the people. The essence of any newspaper is to wage that battle rightly. And in a rightful and judicious manner too. If unchecked, half-truths, naked lies and true-lies will sweep the society away into wilderness. If the news smells bias, it only signals the death knell. When a newspaper is suspected of becoming a pamphlet for one group or the other, the scenario becomes gloomy with the readers losing trust. It spells doom.

Taking out the arrows, Andhra Jyothi has made its presence against this background on Dasara 2002. On the auspices Aayudha Puja day, it has taken the oath that it would commit itself to every 'letter' that it prints, in true letter and spirit. The true journalistic adage "without fear or favour" is put to test in no uncertain words only to be proved right.

As has already been proved, it is a newspaper with renewed energy and vigour. It is a warrior taking on the invisible enemy. It wields sword. In the same breath it plays with fire.

Destined by the changing times and the history, Andhra Jyothi is here to create history.

We Report! You Decide!!

Vemuri Radhakrishna
An Accomplished All-rounder

A proven entrepreneur with wisdom. His personality is embedded with adventure, a trait he borrows from his vast experience as a senior journalist. As the Managing Director, the dynamic leadership of this young industrialist is doubtlessly a shot in the arm of the vibrant Andhra Jyothi that is filled with the young blooded journalists. While establishing himself as the force to reckon with, in leading a hydropower project, he powered Andhra Jyothi, only to help it glow brighter. A man of untiring efforts, and a man with abundance of life-experience, he reaps rich harvest. Uprightness is his quality. Understanding-nature is his special quality. Put together is the secret behind his continued successes.
