4th Sem Cse
Forty year after the green revolution, the character and composition of news media has been enormously transformed. Growing urbanisation and meteropolitanisation of the media in the context of the neoliberal policies of the government are the key drivers of the big change relevant, rural coverage except in small minority of the newspaper has become minimal problems relating to the rural poor, dalits and tribal folk and the panchayati raj activities hardly find a place today in newspaper.
What is reported is at best episodic. How far it will be realistic to accept a repeat of 1960s and 1970s as in respect of agrarian issues, with the current management altitudes and with sizeable sections of journalist showing reluctant even visit villages, remains to be seen this does not of course mean that rare species of the committed progressive journalists is moving towards extinction.
But it is a start of extinction.
