Includes bibliographical references and index.

This text makes a new and significant argument that Indian news media are no longer just observers but active participants in the events that direct the nation. It explores the changing role and performance of Indian news media in the past 25 years by examining their coverage of some of the landmark events and issues within the context of the India's 'globalising' polity, increased privatisation, new communication technologies, and the rise of individualism.
