There is no dearth of web portalsprovidingnews and current affairs content from Odisha on a realtime basis.But the vast majority of them are in English, cateringto the needsof a minuscule percentage of the Odia population. Thefew existingoutlets of news and current affairs are invariablye-papers ofmainstream Odia newspapers which, by their nature, arenot meant tobe forums to access news content on a real time basis.Thus thereis a vast population of Odia reading public – both insideandoutside the state - which is deprived of its share ofinstantinformation in an age where information is power.Mercifully, theever increasing penetration of the internet hasprovided anopportunity to fill this void. Among the first movers inthisgenre, odishareporter.in has been providing news andcurrentaffairs content from the state, country and the world atlarge on areal time basis for those who have access to the internetbut wouldrather have their content offered in Odia. It is, however,muchmore than a news website and provides much else keeping in mindthereading preferences and cultural moorings of an average Odia.Thereare dedicated sections on business, health, sports,entertainment,culture and travel, besides sections featuringspecial stories andcolumns from eminent writers on a variety ofsubjects. All in all,it is a complete package that caters to theneeds of all kinds ofOdia readers irrespective of their tastes andlevel ofeducation.
