Lokesh Mosale

I was born in the village of Mosale which is14 kms off Hassan. My schooling was at Daradahalli near Mudigere & Mosale. Then went on to graduate with Journalism as a major from Maharaja College, Mysore and also completed my Master's in Journalism (1990) and Mass communication from Mysore University (1994). During 1995-2000 I served as lecturer in the Department of Journalism, Manasagangotri & Film Division in Maharaja College. I started my career as a reporter to "Lankesh Parthrike" in 1990 and continued to work for it till the demise of our editor P Lankesh. At this time I went on to edit a weekly "Janaandolana".

Now days I keep myself busy with wildlife photography and other projects that are close to my heart.
