In Bihar, the publication of the Searchlight newspaper was started from Patna in 1918 by Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha. It began in 1918 as an English twice-weekly newspaper. In 1920 it became a thrice-weekly newspaper, and from 1930 it began to be published as a daily. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was one of the founders of this newspaper. Murli Manohar Prasad remained the editor of the Searchlight newspaper for a long period.
