Description:... This book attempts to define news in a major Third World country such as India by analyzing the news content of the elite press and to make cross-cultural comparisons between the Indian news content and that of the United States. The author answers a variety of questions on the subject-matter distribution of the content, journalistic orientation, news judgment, and role of the news person as a watchdog.
