| There are several major publishing groups in India, the most prominent among them being the Times of India Group, the Indian Express Group, the Hindustan Times Group, The Hindu group, the Anandabazar Patrika Group, the MalayalaManorama Group (Malalaya Manorama is the largest circulated daily newspaper in India), the Sahara group, the Bhaskar group, and the Jagran group. In a democracy like India, the media acts as a powerful weapon in exposing the irregularities, shortcomings, and failures of government policy and also function as an eye-opener of the public. But media should not abuse their status and functions. They should be above bias and should be fair and impartial. The language used should be of high standard aiming at educating the public not only in terms of news content but also in terms of language use. This twin function is not wholly appreciated or even discerned in some media firms that seek only sensationalism in content and expression. There are currently more than 50 news companies that provide up to the minute content and news in India. Recently India awakened to the call of mass media and this fact has led to major developments in the Mass Communication education across India like tv production mass media institutes, broadcast journalism courses colleges, media cousres, advertising courses, etc. There are many Journalism, Advertising, Media Studies & Mass Communication Schools in India offering courses such as Master of Journalism & Mass Communication. |
