Janayugom is a Malayalam daily newspaper published in Kerala, India.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is the official organ of the Kerala State Council of the Communist Party of India. It is the first newspaper in India using free software.[7] Originally started in 1947 as a weekly magazine from Quilon to propagate the news and views of the party, On 1953 November 16 it was converted as a daily newspaper.

The first editor was N. Gopinathan Nair (alias Velya Gopi) and the first manager R. Gopinathan Nair (alias Kochu Gopi). M.N. Govindan Nair, a senior figure in the Communist Party of India, supported the conversion of the publication from a weekly to a daily newspaper. By the 1950s, the Janayugom daily newspaper also was started and by the 70s the Janayugom family of publications had expanded to include Cinerama, a film weekly, Balayugom, a children's monthly and Janayugom Novelpathippu, a literary magazine. Later, all of these publications stopped one by one and only a monthly magazine from Calicut remained. In 2007 Janayugom was rejuvenated, now as a daily news paper. Marxist theoreticians like C. Unniraja have been its chief editors. Its chief editor is Kanam Rajendran and editor is Rajaji Mathew Thomas .

Free/open-source software

In November 2019, the newspaper migrated to open-source software. All desktops were moved to Kubuntu Linux, all image editing was moved to GIMP and all desktop publishing was moved to Scribus.[8] Savings from the use of free software was over 10 million Indian Rupees ($130,000).[9]
