Firstpost.com to launch its broadsheet weekly

Firstpost.com, a leading news and media website of Network 18 owned by Reliance Industries, which also runs CNN-News18 and CNBC-TV18, will be launching its first weekly newspaper – Firstpost. The broadsheet weekly will be of 20 pages. By taking the virtual format to the physical world, the new weekly will have two approaches—firstly, there is a market opportunity in the weekends for deep, thoughtful and reflective journalism, and secondly, content is platform-agnostic, especially good content for that Firstpost.com is known for.
