With the arrival of “Sakshi” newspaper, top Telugu newspapers are once again facing intense competition. Currently, Eenadu and Andhrajyothy are dominating circulation with Vaarttha gradually losing readership. While Eenadu is the number one newspaper in Andhra Pradesh, Andhrajyothy is the fastest growing one. We have to wait for some more time before coming to conclusion on Sakshi. 
But, this analysis is on top Telugu newspapers on Internet. With rising overseas population, online Telugu newspaper websites are commanding huge readership over internet. But many sites are not properly utilising the real power of internet and its user generated content.
Reader’s experience is still bad with these sites due to popup ads and bad fonts. But Sakshi website design is really wonderful with its uncluttered interface.
Top 5 online Telugu newspaper websites:
1. Eenadu: It is number one Telugu newspaper both online and offline. Like Malayala Manorama, it needs to build english version of website to properly monetise news content.
Current rank: 12,147.
3. Sakshi: It is the fastest rising Telugu website in the last month. Congrats to Sakshi team for its uncluttered interface. It is one of the best designed Telugu website. But some sections are still underdeveloped.
Current rank: 22,953.
4. Vaarttha: It is quickly losing readership both online and offline. Vaarttha was number one Telugu newspaer on internet in 2003-04.
Current rank: 26,070.
5. Andhrabhoomi:
Current rank: 54,430.
But all Telugu newspapers are plagued of lack of user participation and user generated content. Multimedia sections are neither absent nor underdeveloped in most of the sites.

Balu said ....
eenadu is favourate of TDP....
sakshi political news coverage is very very bad
eenadu support tdp indirectly but sakshi support congrese directly,mainly sakhi news create bad immage about chiru,so many peoples not read the sakshipaper,i think with in one year sakhipaper is closed....
no paper will be closed but people who are thinking like that will be closed by the time
sakshi paper creates good life to journalists .. i dont know other stuff ..
ramoji and eenadu monopoly got down and now everybody happy .. i read eenadu and feel bad about some political manipulations.. now sakshi come and give open queries about their political stories .. that`s good move .. regarding chiru sakshi doesnot say bad and good .. people feel chiru like big hero in real .. he is also a nice person not more than that he should be critisized then only he becomes good politician .. any way this is my view i like sakshi paper very much ..
Recently Surya started its online edition and it's web address is http://www.suryaa.com.
Yep... I agree with you Krishna.
Our News paper are not encouraging users to participate though everyone is interested. There is not even an option to leave comments on articles on their sites.
Hope that soon they will understand & change their strategy by looking at other online newspapers.

Dear Sir,
Andhra Jyothi is encouraging new writers and New Concepts. example; Articles on Swayam -upadhi by Mr.Mynampati Sreenivasa Rao. He wrote many articles on various industrial and business oppertunities to encourage the youth ,whoare having interest on Slf employment. He wrote moar than 150 weeks to "Diksuchi" suppliment of Tuesday`s Andhra Jyothi. Really those articles were very useful to youth of Andhra Pradesh.
Now Mr. Mynampati Sreenivasa Rao, Business Consultant ( Cell: 9866119816) is writing articles to the column "BUSINESS GUIDE" for Monday Andhra Jyothi.
