it was converted as a daily newspaper. <br />
<br />
The first editor was N. Gopinathan Nair (alias Velya Gopi) and the first manager R. Gopinathan Nair (alias Kochu Gopi). [[M.N. Govindan Nair]], a senior figure in the [[Communist Party of India]], supported the conversion of the publication from a weekly to a daily newspaper. By the 1950s, the ''Janayugom'' daily newspaper also was started and by the 70s the ''Janayugom'' family of publications had expanded to include ''Cinerama'', a film weekly, ''Balayugom'', a children's monthly and ''Janayugom Novelpathippu'', a literary magazine. Later, all of these publications stopped one by one and only a monthly magazine from [[Kozhikode|Calicut]] remained. In 2007 ''Janayugom'' was rejuvenated, now as a daily news paper. Marxist theoreticians like [[C. Unniraja]] have been its chief editors. Its chief editor is [[Kanam Rajendran]] and editor is [[Rajaji Mathew Thomas]] .<br />
