About Us

About malayal.am

Malayal.am is a daily magazine-ised news analysis portal, the first of its kind in Malayalam. The name itself is intended to represent the Kerala community anywhere in the world. Unlike other news-breakers, we concentrate on analysis and commentary more than mere reporting. With a very much realistic and serious approach to matters, even while reporting hard news, there will be an underlying tone of black humor which strongly distinguishes our stories from other news websites. So you cannot accidentally run into a cut-n-paste story in our pages.

For those who like surfing for trivia, we have elaborate sections on film and celebrity news. Gossip channels like 'Parihaasam' (political satire) and 'Paradooshanam' (celebrity gossip) stand out in this crowd. Our film reviews and special stories are frankly true crowd pullers.

Behind the name

Domain hacks are a web 2.0 trick that makes use of TLDs (top-level-domains) to complete a word so that, without the dot in between, it would have been read in a different way with clear meaning. Famous domain hacks out there include identi.ca, del.icio.us, bit.ly, goo.gl, inter.net, pla.net, who.is, blo.gs, itun.es, n.pr etc. Likewise, malayal.am is a domain hack beyond doubt. 

Team malayal.am

Team malayal.am comprises a handful of young journalists with proven mettle in print, visual and cyber media. The variety in content by itself speaks volumes. The venture is aided by a few NRK entrepreneurs in the UK and the US. The team has no links however, with any religious or political sects.
