Development Of Media In Assam
Newspapers
Background
The first printing press in Assam was established by the American Baptist
Missionaries in 1836 at Sadiya, a little village in the eastern-most point of the river
Brahmaputra
...
Several newspapers
and magazines are related with many revolutionary phases of Assamese society and literature
...

The first Assamese newspaper (news magazine) Orunodoi was published in 1846
...
With the colonial touch of the Western Civilization, newspaper service started almost at the
same time in the three neighbouring states Assam, Bengal and Orissa
...
Besides fulfilling the objectives of newspaper
and magazine together, Orunodoi was a precursor of Assamese grammar, dictionary, drama, poem,
various types of articles and school books
...
The structure
of Assamese language and way of expression changed too and all these together brought a new
rhythm to AssameseThough the Missionaries had come from a different place with different
cultural background yet they prepared here the ground for a new era and a kind of renaissance with
all their generosity and finer feelings
...
On one hand Orunodoi had tried to establish Assamese
language and literature by giving it a proper structure and form, on the other hand it tried to awake
a conscience about education and culture among the people who were concerned with academic
and cultural progress of Assam
...
In 1846, the
editor of Orunodoi was Dr Nathan Brown and it was published from Sivasagar Mission Press
...
The publication of Orunodoy became irregular since 1882 and at last it was

shut down in 1882

With the advent of desk top publishing and offset printing in the 1980s, Assam’s newspaper and
magazine publication scenario underwent a radical change
...
On this day of writing this article,
Guwahati is the publication place for as many as ten Assamese and five English dailies
...
The English dailies from Guwahati include
The Assam Tribune, The Sentinel, The Telegraph, The Hills Times and Times of India
...
The English daily
The Sentinel also accommodates feature articles in Bodo language, once a week
...

The modernization of newspaper business in Assam would not have been possible without the
emergence of Omega Printers and Publishers Private Limited, who revolutionized the form and
content of a newspaper, with its launch of The Sentinel, an English daily with Sri Dhirendranath
Bezbaruah as the founder editor in 1983
...
The Sentinel House
came to be dubbed as a rewarding training house

Bismoi set up a new trend in
the literature of news magazines by publishing mysterious, detective, thrilling, adventurous events
and stories of real life drama etc
