Discuss the growth of press in the 19h & 20" century in India.
Answers
Answer:
In the 19th century the press became the first medium capable of reaching a mass audience through a combination of technological improvements in the production and distribution of newspapers and fundamental developments in their financial organisation. It was a capability that was not fully realised until after the First World War when other forms of social communication, particularly broadcasting, began to challenge the predominant position of the press as the main channel of information in society.
In the 20th century the rapidly growing impact of the Internet, especially after 2000, brought "free" news and classified advertising to audiences that no longer cared for paid subscriptions.[citation needed] The Internet undercut the business model of many daily newspapers.The result, they argue, is that journalism today is characterized by four themes: personalization, globalization, localization, and pauperization.
