This will result in the creation of new mediapreneur in each constituency, as well as jobs in business development, news reporting, journalism, marketing, videography, and other media-related fields. Our goal is that common people should be the owners of media.”
Sharma said, “I was associated with NewsKarnataka for seven years and thus it gives me immense pleasure to take the responsibility of the Puttur page. We would like to provide a global platform for the local content through this dedicated English page for Puttur. This will help us take our own people’s stories to the world and therefore enhance the visibility for Puttur.”
SHMPL Executive Director Canute Jeevan Pinto said, “Spearhead Media has always been more than just a news disseminator. It has always aimed at making people participate in the process of spreading positive news and for doing this effectively, we would want more like-minded people who can join us, discuss ideas with us and support our positive media approach. Also in turn this will generate employment. Spearhead Media’s Puttur Franchisee is in line with our plans to involve people in order to bring a change in the society that we all want to see.”
SMPL’s franchisee model has been launched so as to reach and connect local people through hyperlocal pages, which indeed will also serve as a business avenue for local media entrepreneurs. 450+ hyperlocal pages will be introduced in coming days across Karnataka in English and Kannada which will enhance the core vision of the company, i.e to give voice to the voiceless at grassroot level.
