A quick internet search for the founders of Indian Mirror newspaper leads to different answers. While many links point to Devendra Nath Tagore, Wikipedia has a more detailed answer on this.
According to Wikipedia, the Indian Mirror was founded by Monomohun Ghosh and Keshub Chandur Sen around 1861-1862. The two met while Monomohun Ghosh was a student at the Presidency College in Calcutta, India.
It is also interesting to note that the Indian Mirror was among the first Indian newspapers. The founder, Monomohun Ghosh, is no less distinguished. He, along with Satyendranath Tagore, was the first Indian to appear for Indian Civil Services (though he failed in both his attempts). He is also one of the founders of the Indian National Congress, the party that led India to independence.
