India is a country of diversity and Punjabi is one language that is mostly like in india after hindi.
Since, Punjabi is the frontrunner when it comes to the number of people who understand it and use it, Punjabi news or news in Punjabi is also the most widely followed way of garnering news and information. Punjabi news papers that were once a vehicle of news and information dissemination in the times of national freedom struggle, have now evolved into a prosperous industry. Punjabi news is increasingly becoming a linqua franca in newsrooms.

Punjabi news has become the most popular choice after hindi because it reaches out to the masses at all levels. If that wasn’t all, it has also caught the attention of advertisers and marketing companies for they’ve found an opportunity to showcase their concepts and ideas in the most constructive manner to a majority of Punjabis. Media houses in Punjab recognize the market value of Punjabi and have capitalized on it. Today, Punjabi news channels are one of the largest profit making news networks in India.
