As any professional Newspaper Ad Agency will bear out, the latest local, regional, national and international developments are covered more thoroughly by newspapers than today’s digital news apps on smartphones, radios and television and more cost-effectively. This will be borne out by even random checks of some 1,05,443 newspapers/periodicals registered with the Registrar of Newspapers for India listed by the Indian Newspaper Society of India (INS). Business newspapers are specialised journals that expand on business and trade matters which convey:

• Corporate announcements
• Declaration of quarterly results
• Fluctuations and changes in crude oil price
• Information on the Indian currency rate
• News on the local and global economy, etc.
• Most importantly, compliance with the statutory requirement for all public limited companies listed on the stock exchange to release their financial results, the public declarations by organizations registered with the National Stock Exchange of India. Such results are to be released four times a year, at the end of every financial quarter.

The usual daily newspapers can only carry snatches of the above financial and business news in view of their coverage of general developments in so many other fields. Therefore, it is best to depend on specialise business newspapers like the following:
