The Basel Mission initially tried to print evangelical material in Bombay but this was laborious. In 1841, Gottfried Weigle obtained a printing press from Bombay and brought it back to Mangalore in 1842 with two Marathi printing assistants. In 1842, they published a Kannada pamphlet by Moegling and made 1500 copies. The next item was Christian Greiner's Tulu translation of St. Matthew's Gospel. In July 1843, the press began the first Kannada newspaper called "Mangalur-samachar" edited by Hermann Moegling. Two issues a month were produced until February 1844, after which it was printed in Bellary.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Shaw|first=Graham|date=1977|title=Printing at Mangalore and Tellicherry by the Basel Mission|url=https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/libr.1977.27.issue-1/libr.1977.27.1.154/libr.1977.27.1.154.xml|journal=Libri|volume=27|issue=1|doi=10.1515/libr.1977.27.1.154|s2cid=144746947|issn=0024-2667}}</ref> | The Basel Mission initially tried to print evangelical material in Bombay but this was laborious.
