how serious it was; and historians pointed out that concern about declining literacy

News media produced by, for and about women have long been crucial
mechanisms by which women can define the alternative visions of womanhood
and cultivate new socio-political landscapes. Alternative news media advocated
versions of women’s social, political, and cultural roles that were quite different
from those proposed by or imposed by mainstream media. Such media have
enabled women to exchange and share news unlikely to find a home in mainstream
media institutions and to develop journalistic and media skills. This book describes
the entry of women into journalism, their struggles to gain equality and their
determined efforts to ensure that their voice too was heard. Women journalists all
over the world more or less face the same kind of problem initially-the resistance
to their entry by their male colleagues.

195653920
This book shines a light into a black hole: the revolution in India's newspapers, and
the reading habits of its people, since the late 1970s. Although scholars have
written exhaustively about the centrality of print for the making of the modern
west, the transformation of Indian-language newspapers has passed almost
unnoticed. Spotlighting vast yet neglected changes, India's Newspaper Revolution
engages not only social scientists and historians, but advertising, marketing and
media practitioners. While newspapers elsewhere struggle to hold readers, Indian
daily circulations have increased by close to 500 per cent in twenty years. The
book pinpoints the role of advertising in propelling a print boom in ten major
Indian languages;

ARTICLES
19. Ruchi Jaggi ,February 3, 2010, Trends in Indian Journalism,
CHILLIBREEZE
The article looks at the transformation of Indian journalism in the context of
changing newspaper content, commercialization and sensationalism. In a nutshell,
journalism became a more glamorous and pro-active profession. The trend of
media trials adorned with sensationalism has taken away a major chunk of
credibility from it. Media’s representation of causes and the phenomenon of media
trials have also brought in a public awakening long-awaited in the otherwise
somber state of social slumber.
20. Prof. Pradeep Mathur, July-Dec. 2006, Media, Technology and Rural
Development, Indian Media Studies Journal • Vol.1 • No.1.
Rural Development is need of the hour for a country like India, which is on the
threshold of being a big world power with the capacity to influencing the course of
events on our planet. However, this is a dream which we can realize only when we
are a country with no internal dissensions and strife, a country with affair
economic system and cohesive social order .In fact the essence of development lies
not in a regimented system where none dares to disagree but in all -inclusive
dispensation in which every one plays an equal role. The quest for rural
development must lead us in the direction of empowering those sections of society
who are in the need of being empowered.
21. Alok Verma 14 January 2003, Indian media should gear up for technology
impact Indiantelevision dot com's yearender
The new technologies are accelerating a shift of power away from traditional
voices of authority in journalism and politics. However, new media designers
predict that the day-to-day mass audience will splinter further into niches, because
people will want to create their own customized flows of information. In politics,
citizens already are treated as demographic niches, and our common values rarely
are addressed. The new technologies offer journalists not only the potential perils
of competition and scrutiny but also the potential benefits of an expanded role:
connecting citizens to information and to each other.
22. Haas Tanni, Professor, 2011, The state of public journalism today, Journal
of Global Communication, Volume : 4, Issue : 1
Drawing on various sources of evidence, this brief article shows that news
organizations’ commitment to public journalism is best characterized as
ambiguous. Following a description of the Associated Press Managing Editors’
efforts to promote public journalism through its “National Credibility Roundtables
Project”, and other ongoing public journalism initiatives around the world, it
discusses a number of efforts to nurture a critical public sphere about journalism
through so-called “editorial (board) blogs”.

Kaul, J Mass Commun Journalism 2012, 2:5
In Asian Countries media freedom is a controversial issue, on one side right to
information and freedom of expression is provided on other side media regulations
and Press laws are ready to curb the media freedom. New media often get involved
in struggles for new freedoms. This article is to discuss issues of new media in the
governance of freedom of press. The Internet is an indispensable source of
information today. At the same time, the freedom of new media - like other media -
is dynamically related to the overall societal context as regards press freedom
dispensations. Old and new media realms do have different issues, and there are
particular matters for developing countries.
