At a time when daily newspapers are facing an existential crisis, The Indian Express Group on 10 June launched its Patna edition, the 11th edition of the daily published from centers across India. The launch of the Patna edition is taking place in a month that marks 50 years of the imposition of Emergency in 1975.
Apart from Patna, The Indian Express publishes from 10 other centers – Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune and Vadodara.
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar launched the Patna edition at a function at his residence, The Indian Express reported. “I am delighted at the launch of Patna edition of The Indian Express. It is good that the newspaper has come to Patna. I have been an avid reader of the newspaper since my college days. Good journalism empowers the citizen and is fundamental to good governance,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.
Group chairman and managing director Viveck Goenka said Bihar always had a very special place in founder Ramnath Goenka’s heart. “The Patna edition will draw on our rich history to tell the story of the exciting future of a state and its people.”
Announcing the launch, chief editor Raj Kamal Jha said, “Through our investigative and explanatory journalism, with emphasis on original field reporting, we shall give our best to do justice to the changing Bihar story.”

It’s encouraging to see legacy media like The Indian Express still expanding their reach, especially during a time when print journalism is under so much pressure. Curious to see how the Patna edition tailors its content to the regional readership.
