What is Slow News?
In a world dominated by breaking headlines, constant notifications, and sensational clickbait, Slow News offers an antidote — a return to thoughtful, responsible journalism.
Slow News is not about being late. It’s about being right, relevant, and respectful. It prioritizes:
Context over chaos
Depth over drama
Reflection over reaction
Where mainstream media often rushes to report events as they unfold, Slow News takes a step back. It asks: What does this really mean? Why did this happen? What’s the long-term impact?
Inspired by the Slow Food Movement, Slow Journalism values quality over quantity, insight over immediacy, and storytelling over sound bites.
This model encourages:
Long-form storytelling
Investigative and human-interest pieces
Solutions journalism
Culture, history, and community-driven content
A slower, mindful pace of publishing
Slow News is built on trust — between journalist and reader, between fact and narrative.
What is Lokamalayalee?
Lokamalayalee is an independent slow news platform that serves the global Malayalee community with dignity, depth, and direction.
Founded on the principles of Slow Journalism, Lokamalayalee offers a refreshing alternative to fast, shallow reporting. It is a space where Kerala’s culture, people, politics, environment, economy, and diaspora are explored with depth, care, and responsibility.
We believe the Malayalee identity — diverse, vibrant, and global — deserves more than just fleeting headlines. It deserves a platform that listens, learns, and leads.
Our Mission
To tell Kerala’s stories beyond the noise of mainstream news.
To give voice to the unheard, especially local communities, marginal voices, and regional issues.
To connect the Malayalee diaspora with their roots through stories that matter.
To build a thoughtful digital space where journalism fosters understanding, not outrage.

Why It Matters

We speak to the thinking Malayalee who values truth over trend, wisdom over noise.
