Sikkim Express is the
first, the oldest and most read English
daily of the tiny Himalayan state Sikkim.
The only English daily from the state with
an online edition www.sikkimexpress.com
Sikkim Express is totally
dedicated in providing news to its readers,
thereby gaining the trust and readership of
different sections of the society not only
in Sikkim but also in areas of Northe
Bengal.
It is infact, the oldest newspaper in the
state with an unparalleled track record of
31 years of uninterrupted news service.
Sikkim Express was first published in 1976
just within a year of Sikkim's merger with
India as the 22nd state of the country in
1975. The paper celebrated its Silver
Jubilee in 2001 with 25 years of dedicated
and uninterrupted services.
This is not the only 'first' for Sikkim
Express. It is also the only newspaper from
Sikkim, and probably the only paper from
this region to bag the coveted Best Small
Newspaper (English) Award in 1986 at the All
India Conference of Small and Medium
Newspapers held in Chennai.
It Was in May 2003 that Sikkim Express
achieved yet another landmark in the history
of journalism in Sikkim by changing the
publication from a weekly newspaper to a
daily in acknowledgment of the growing
public demand.
Since then, Sikkim Express has witnessed a
giant leap in terms of increase in
readership as well as popularity as a daily,
and this growth is prooving to be a constant
process.
Sikkim Express has always set standards in
the field of journalism in Sikkim and is
determined to create many more landmarks. |
