Theekkathir is a Tamil newspaper ran by Toiling Masses Welfare Trust Tamil Nadu. Theekkathir is being published from Madurai, Chennai, Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli.[1]

History[edit]

In 1963, Theekkathir was started as a weekly from Chennai with the fund collected by Coimbatore mill workers. Its first editor was Arputhasamy, fondly called as Appu.[2]

Theekkathir was launched in 1966 at (Nadesan Road) Chennai. Its regular edition was launched in 1969 at Madurai and became a daily newspaper in 1971.[citation needed]

The paper's second edition started from Chennai in 1993. Its third edition started from Coimbatore in 2007. The fourth edition from Tiruchirappalli was launched as a conclusion of the August campaign. [3]
