Mathrubhumi: Since 1923
Mathrubhumi is the second most read newspaper in Kerala, next to Malayala Manorama. Founded by K. P. Kesava Menon, an active volunteer in the Indian freedom struggle against the British, the newspaper is widely considered as one of those publications that gave crucial contributions to India's freedom struggle.
The newspaper is now owned by MV Shreyams Kumar, a Kerala politician, who is also the son of former Lok Sabha member MP Veerendra Kumar.
