November 28, 2014 05:23 pm | Updated 05:23 pm IST - Bengaluru

A new website www.coorgnews.in, aimed at covering news exclusively on Kodagu (Coorg) district, has been launched by Bengaluru-based journalist P.T. Bopanna.

Mr. Bopanna had launched his first website www.coorgtourisminfo.com in 2005. It is Kodagu’s first news and tourism portal, featuring information on all aspects of Kodagu, Mr. Bopanna said in a press release here on Friday.

Unlike the coorgtourisminfo.com which had limited scope for coverage of news and issues involving Kodagu, the new website will provide extensive coverage. Besides it will be an interactive site and have provision for comments from the readers, Mr. Bopanna said. The site also provides links to coffee and pepper prices and Coorg weather.

Mr. Bopanna hosts three more websites – www.coorgrecipes.com, www.coorghomestays.co.in and www.coorgjewellery.in. The news website has been developed by Credesk, a Bengaluru-based technology company.

Author of five books, Mr. Bopanna has also produced two videos on Coorg, including the popular Discover Coorg video. Both the videos are on YouTube.
