Course programme
This course is designed to give young entrants into journalism a sense
of the history and characteristics of the news media in India, and of
their possible future development. It introduces students to the
200-year-old history of the Indian press as well as to the significantly
different history of radio and television in India. The areas covered
include the press and the independence movement, and movements for
social reform and transformation; the growth of the print, broadcast,
and new media and their relationship to the development of capitalism
(up to the present era of globalisation); the impact of the Emergency
and explicit and implicit forms of censorship operating on the news
media; the explosive growth of television following the Direct Broadcast
Satellite revolution; the impact of global media giants on news
production and dissemination; the influence of the Internet and the new
media on the context and practice of journalism; and the impact of
convergence and digitisation.
