Journalism, Democracy and Civil Society in India

Beschreibung

In spite of growth of India's democracy since independence - with its media becoming one of the world's largest - there been a serious dearth of scholarship on the role of journalists and dramatically changing journalism practices. This book asks a variety of questions, including whether privately run news channels can provide the discursive space needed to strengthen the practices of democracy, whether neoliberal media ownership patterns provide space for a critical and free journalistic culture to evolve, and what the ethical challenges are that confront editors and journalists in a growing industry. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.
