World’s only handwritten newspaper is from Chennai

The four-page newspaper is published from Chennai, and has roughly 21,000 readers. In the age of rapid digitisation, the Musalman has stood the test of time, and has been in production for the past 91 years. It is an evening paper with four pages, all of which are handwritten by calligraphers, before being mass-produced with a printing press. The newspaper was founded by Syed Azmathullah in 1927.

The front page is for national and international news, the second and the third pages are for local news, and the fourth page is for sports. Some space is left blank at the bottom right corner of the front page, in case there is some breaking news. Later, the page would be filled with available content before going to the press.
