Loksatta is an Indian newspaper. It was established on 14 January 1948. Loksatta gained notability through its coverage of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination and subsequent developments; the founder of the Indian Express Group, Ramnath Goenka, remained dedicated to Loksatta.[1]
After remaining the largest circulated standard Marathi daily for many years, by the late-90s Loksatta saw competition from newer daily newspapers like Maharashtra Times. By 1997, it only circulated around 400,000 daily papers in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmednagar and Nagpur combined.[2]
However, circulation increased in the 2000s after changes which included addition of various supplements and adding several new city editions for local news.[3][4]
