But despite all that people trust media above legislature and executive, opined District-in-Charge Minister Krishna J Palemar.
Speaking after launching the Mangalore Today website www.mangaloretoday.com, he said that people have a lot of respect and trust for the magazine that has come a long way in the last 13 years.
Chairman of Karnataka Bank Ananthakrishna, who inaugurated the Features section of the website, in his address appreciated Mangalore Today for not glorifying news.

Chairman of Magnum Intergrafiks Sudhir P Ghate inaugurated the profile section of the website. The website was developed by ACIES Soft, Mangalore.
