CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS: FOUR YEARS OF “CITY KEMP”

BANGALORE(MT NEWS) : In a span of four years, City Kemp has created a name for itself as one of the leading neighbourhood newspaper of Bangalore. Diverse and interesting happenings from the surroundings, including the  issues faced by the residents of the neighbourhood are largely covered, making the newspaper a very interesting read. City Kemp is a great initiative of Akshaya Deva, who consistently and effectively brings us the weekly updates happening in the surroundings.

AKSHAYA DEVA SPEAKS:

The concept of neighbourhood newspapers became an attractive research area in the 90’s and it has been continuously growing in interest since then. It was recently felt that the increasing number of people in the neighbourhood community needs a journal to know what’s happening in their locality.

So, City Kemp aims to address this need and focus itself on this main theme. It intends to primarily publish news and views that concern the residents every week. In addition, it may occasionally contain special issues on various topics concerning the residents.

We hope our paper will become the main vehicle for presenting ideas, research and other activities in the area and serve the local community well. Any suggestion from our valued readers to improve the coverage and for better presentation of news will always be appreciated.

What’s in a Name?

While browsing the internet we came across the word ‘Kemp’ meaning the champion. The word Kemp (found in Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia and other dictionaries) is derived from the Middle English word ‘kempe,’ which came from Old English ‘cempa,’ meaning ‘warrior’ or ‘champion.’ Hence it can be termed as City Champion.
