Indian Journalism in a New Era: Changes, Challenges, and Perspectives [Hardcover]

In the ever changing information environment of the early 21st century, citizens and journalists alike are eagerly adapting to new technologies. India is no different. The country's communication revolution, in the post-liberalization era, had led to one of the largest media markets in the world. Given the breadth and scope of India's media, there is little meaningful literature available about journalism practices. This book brings together contribution from 21 Indian and global scholars and journalists to write informatively and critically about Indian journalism today. The contributors in this volume focus on the changes in journalism practices within the context of India's long journalism history, socio-economic conditions of the Indian state, and minority politics. The volume is divided into four different sections, each addressing one relevant aspect: history and evolving changes, social media, e-journalism, marginalization, pedagogy, ethics, and public sphere. Underlying the chapters is a focus on how to address and analyze the enormity and precipitous changes taking place in Indian journalism, media technology, and global relations.
