Beskrivning

This book offers an extensive study of Indian media, exploring its development through socio-cultural, economic, and political lenses while connecting these interrelated spheres. It inspects the history, geography, economics, sociology, and politics of Indian media, presenting a refined understanding of its evolution over time and across India, which is a sub-continent in itself.The book examines how the Indian media has transformed into an enterprise dominated by private players, while remaining deeply influenced by government interventions, creating a dynamic landscape with diverse stakeholders. It explores various dimensions of Indian media—historical, socio-cultural, political, religious, economic, and ethical—using specific examples from varied geographies and contexts. Additionally, it reflects on the regional differences within India’s federal structure, offering insights into the complexities of media across the nation.Adopting a media ecology approach, this book provides a fresh perspective on the Indian media landscape, making it an important resource for students of media studies, communication studies, journalism and advertising, mass communication, media management, entertainment management and film studies. It will also appeal to general readers interested in understanding the multifaceted nature of Indian media.
