At the turn of the millennium, Indian journalism has undergone
significant changes. The rapid commercialization of the press,
together with an increase in literacy and political consciousness,
has led to swift growth in the newspaper market but also changed
the way news makers mediate politics. Positioned at a historical
junction where India is clearly feeling the effects of market
liberalization, this study demonstrates how journalists and
informants interactively create new forms of political action and
consciousness. The book explores English and Hindi newsmaking and
investigates the creation of news relations during the production
process and how they affect political images and leadership
traditions. It moves beyond the news-room to outline the role of
journalists in urban society, the social lives of news texts and
the way citizens bring their ideas and desires to bear on the news
discourse. This important volume contributes to an emerging debate
about the impact of the media on Indian society. Furthermore, it
convincingly demonstrates the inseparable link between media
related practices and dynamic cultural repertoires.
