The original Imphal Free Press was owned by Sapam Nishikanta. In 1996, Pradip Phanjoubam walked out with the name and started a new Imphal Free Press. Phanjoubam edits and owns the new Imphal Free Press ever since. Sapam Nishikanta continued publishing under the names *Manipur Free Press* that turned into the *Sangai Express*, now the main competitor of the *Imphal Free Press*.


How does the competition between the Imphal Free Press and Sangai Express affect the media landscape in Manipur?
