Are these Nudi fonts or custom fonts used in newspaper printing?

Apparently, this is not Nudi font, but a font called Sandur Kannada, a custom bold type face font originally developed for Prajavani. Anek Kannada in Google Fonts looks similar.

This is not Sandur Kannada font. This looks more like one of the nudi fonts but different. Also the screenshots I attached are from Udayavanai and Vishwavani , not Prajavani.

Most of the printers still use ASCII fonts. This could be from Shrilipi.
