What is the problem that The Chennai Emailer is trying to solve?
In a city as vibrant and diverse as Chennai, information flows in abundance. From English dailies like The Hindu, The New Indian Express, DT Next and Times of India to Tamil newspapers like Dina Thanthi, Dinamani and Dina Malar, residents are spoilt for choice.
New-age digital platforms like The News Minute, Citizen Matters, and South First are adding to the mix, alongside a growing number of local Internet creators flooding our social media feeds with content about politics, food, culture, heritage, and films.
However, the post-Covid world has left us with an overwhelming amount of information—too much, in fact. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to separate the signal from the noise, to find the stories that truly impact our lives, our neighbourhoods, and our city. What Chennai lacks is a singular, reliable source that curates this information meaningfully, helping residents make informed decisions without wading through endless streams of irrelevant content.
This is where The Chennai Emailer steps in: Our city doesn’t need more content; it needs better content—concise, thoughtful, and impactful. Chennai deserves a newsletter that cuts through the clutter and brings together the best of local journalism and solution-oriented stories. It will focus on the issues that matter, from civic problems to community-driven solutions, all delivered with precision and context. It’s high-quality, curated journalism designed for the digital age. The Chennai Emailer is here to ensure you are informed, engaged, and inspired.
