Launched on July 15, 1978, Sportstar has indeed come a long way. Beginning as a Print edition, Sportstar, after 37 years, is a cherished offering from The Hindu group, an institution with an innate interest in sport and which has been backing all athletic activity with whole-hearted zeal for more than a century through the sports pages of its flagship, The Hindu newspaper. Indeed, The Hindu's firs
t foray into sports magazines had been through Sport and Pastime, which also featured a bit of cinema and English Literature in the form of gripping short stories. The Hindu management, in keeping with the times, is now offering Sportstar on the Digital Platform, too. This is a real time venture, with moment to moment updates on all sports disciplines. Apart from this, the website, sportstarlive.com, will contain previews, reviews, interviews, features, analysis, statistics, photo slide shows, audio and video files and what have you. This new venture is literally a one-stop destination for sports lovers and delivers unending excitement. Come, log on and fasten your seat belts!
