Hindi media refers to media in Hindi language and its dialects, across the Hindi belt in India, and elsewhere with the Hindi-speaking Indian diaspora.
Hindi media has a two hundred-year history, with the first newspaper published in the language, Udant Martand, going to press in 1826, and the first novel, Pariksha Guru, published in 1882. [1]
Hindi Journalism Day, May 30, is considered to be a very important day for Hindi journalism, because the first newspaper in Hindi language, Udant Martand was published on this day. Pandit Jugal Kishore Shukla started it as a weekly newspaper from Calcutta on 30 May 1826. He was the publisher and editor himself. For this reason, Pandit Jugal Kishore Shukla has a special place in the world of Hindi journalism. Before 1826, many newspapers were being published in English, Persian, and Bangla, but not a single newspaper came out in Hindi. Keeping this in view, Jugal Kishore started the publication of 'Udant Martand'. This letter used to come out every Tuesday. However, in the beginning of 'Udanta Martand' no one had imagined that Hindi journalism would later come and take such a big size and it would become so important.
'Udanta Martand' Pandit Jugal Kishore Shukla was originally from Kanpur who wanted to give more importance to journalism despite being a lawyer. But at that time, the colonial British had made Calcutta their place of work, due to which it became a big challenge to talk about the rights of the Indians in India. Therefore, 'Udanta Martand' of Jugal Kishore Shukla can be called a kind of bold experiment. Before the Hindi newspaper was published in the Bengal state of the country, the newspaper was published in other languages. There was no Hindi newspaper previously.
The Hindi newspaper was also published from Bengal, the credit of which goes to Pandit Jugal Kishore Shukla.

He got permission from the Governor General on February 19, 1826, to face financial constraints Udant Martand was a weekly newspaper. In whose first issue 500 copies were published, but due to lack of knowledge of Hindi language, the trend of the readers was rarely seen. The cost of sending it to Hindi belt states was very high. Jugal Kishore made a lot of requests to the govt.to give some concession in postal rates but the British government was not ready for it. The Newspaper had to be closed in a few months.
Due to financial constraints, the life of this newspaper could not last long. Only 79 issues of Udant Martand, which were to be published in book format every Tuesday, could be published. Which was closed on 4 December 1827 due to financial troubles.
