Talk:Malayala Manorama

Sources

---

I place the following two important links from where I am culling out information to expand the article:

• Malayala Manorama
• Malayala Manorama - the Brand that build Brand

I would also continue to further study the subject. Please also translate the words "Malayala Manorama" in english. --Bhadani 19:51, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

I hope the one who is going to expand this article will not forget to maintain NPOV.That would mean citing sources about Manorama's politics,its extremly biased way of reporting,its firm stance against communism and leftists,its over-sensationalisation of news,the presence of religious and parochial elements in op-ed(they even support Oomman Chandy than other cong leaders since OC is jacobite,the Church to which the Manorama owners belong to) ,the way advertisers inflence news,how they exploit sentimence (group prayer during Anju Bobby George's olympics jump,tinu yohannan etc etc ) commercially,how they are following the lines of Times of India by putting semi-nude pics in the newspaper,how they exaggarate the death figures during terrible casualities etc.--Sahodaran 14:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC) ... OC is not jacobite, he is orthodox and manorama owners too.117.196.166.49 (talk) 15:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I think you sound pretty biased. thunderboltz

I think some of the recent edits require modifications, including formatting, inclusion of deleted contents, etc. --Bhadani 17:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Separate entry?

Does the yearbook deserve a separate entry? It is a reasonably well-known reference throughout India.--Gargletheape 07:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I am of the opinion that all the publications by Manorama like Vanitha, Balarama, etc. should be given its own page. We should give special importance to the yearbook, however, as you said, its popular all over India. thunderboltz 14:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

NPOV Tag

In my opinion the neutral point of view of this article should be discussed. The following paragraph itself proves the need of NPOV tag.

The success of Manorama Daily lies in the fact that it could win only over the affluent Christian community in Kerala thereby affirming the participation of advertising clients.

But as the middle class in Hindu and Muslim sections of the society began to attain financial growth, the spread of Manorama proportionately declined. Many other news dailies have mushroomed in the recent years including Mathrubhumi, Deshabhimani, Deepika etc.

If we refer Audit Bureau of Circulation, we can never see any circulation decline with regard to Malayala Manorama. It may be at its peak of circulation growth. But how can we can that be a decline? If we say Manorama could win only the afluent Christian community that also should be disputed. Take the example of Malappuram district where the Muslim population is the majority. In my knowledge Manorama leads there with the circulation. The article should be modified.

These edits certainly qualify as non-NPOV. Tintin (talk) 05:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Major Edit

The text is horribly mangled and unbalanced as I found it. I did some major edits to give some cogency. I don't expect that my edits will stay as they are not likely to be on the good side of either of the contending parties.Kuntan 16:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Political Alignment - huge mistake

It is wrong to mention MM's political alignment as neutral.Actually it is Conservative. Manorama always had anti-left bias.It played a significant role in Kerala's history by opposing leftist ideas.( sometimes for good and sometimes for bad ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.97.235.233 (talk) 17:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

ധർമ്മോസ്മത് കുലദൈവതം

ധർമ്മോസ്മത് കുലദൈവതം what is the meaning K R Ravi Mohan (talk) 16:03, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

It means charity, our household divinity. This English translation is also on the Malayala Manorama coat of arms. The motto was used by Maharaja Sri Moolam Thirunal of Travancore. The newspaper's coat of arms is also based on the one that was used by the Travancore royal family. --Joshua Issac (talk) 15:53, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
