Talk is the largest circulated weekly with a reach of over 6.32 lakh households. The combined readership covering 16 strategic neighbourhoods of the city is larger than all print media in Chennai. And in every neighbourhood, Talk is way ahead of its peers. Brought out in a combination of glazed paper and newsprint with pleasing layouts and impeccable printing ; Talk is also competitive in its rates. Indeed, it is at once an Advertiser’s dream as well as a reader’s delight.

Editorially, the Talk publications have given relevance and context to neighbourhood journalism, amplifying local (but serious) issues effectively and energetically. The Tamil content adds an interesting flavour with its informative and entertainment value.

The Point Blank column from Editor T R Jawahar is now the stuff of journalistic legend. His incisive and no-holds-barred comments stand out in resplendent relief amidst foggy, hesitant opinions elsewhere. The winsome wit of Crank’s Corner by Associate Editor K Balakumar is also there to light up your weekends with lightness.

Surely, it will pay to be an advertiser in Talk. Colour, Content, Coverage & Circulation: Talk has certainly emerged as the talk of the entire city in every respect. Talk to us, Talk through us.
