Question

state two function of the vernacular press in generating national Conshisness?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Vernacular Press Act, in British India, law enacted in 1878 to curtail the freedom of the Indian-language (i.e., non-English) press. Proposed by Lord Lytton, then viceroy of India (governed 1876–80), the act was intended to prevent the vernacular press from expressing criticism of British policies—notably, the opposition that had grown with the outset of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–80). The act excluded English-language publications. It elicited strong and sustained protests from a wide spectrum of the Indian populace. 2. News values, sometimes called news criteria, determine how much prominence a news story is given by a media outlet, and the attention it is given by the audience. 3. Descriptive lead – As the name suggests, this type of lead goes into great detail to describe the scene or person that makes up the subject of the story. 4. Mechanical Department - The entire mechanical operation is usually under the supervision of plant superintendent who is directly responsible to the publisher. In a typical situation, he will have five departments under his control; the composing room, the stereotype department, the press room, the engraving department, and the proof desk. 5. Electronic journalism - also known as e-journalism or multi-platform journalism - refers to new practices in TV, print, radio, and online news that have blurred media boundaries.
