Kannada News Today is noted for being the first news website in Karnataka to utilize hyper-realistic AI-generated news anchors. These AI anchors are designed to mimic human movements and speech, representing an early instance of AI technology being integrated into digital journalism in the state.[4][5]

The platform is connected to its sister site, Timesnib, which is an English language news website that covers national and international topics. [6]

The platform has announced the Sadhana Hyper-Local Journalism Awards.[7][8] These awards are meant to recognize achievements in local and community reporting. They will focus on areas like local storytelling and the impact on the community.[9][10][11] [12]

In August, Kannada News Today announced that they offer free online journalism courses in Kannada and English. These courses are meant to help new journalists learn important skills, especially for those from communities that are not well-represented.[13][14]
