Screening the Public Sphere: Media and Democracy in India by Saima Saeed (Englis

Description: Screening the Public Sphere by Saima Saeed Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The book expounds an original social theory of media by positing four concepts — citizenship, public knowledge, criticality and power — as central to an understanding and evaluation of contemporary journalistic practice, ownership patterns and content, while framing the role and relationship of television news with regard to democracy and development. Publisher Description For centuries, democracy and development have steered the imagination of governments, citizens, intelligentsia and policymakers alike. Democracy without free media is a contradiction, while development without democracy is futile. Highlighting the power and significance of contemporary media, this book deconstructs news and news-making on Indian television. In exploring the concepts of sense-making and meaning-generation, it examines how news and the dissemination of information and opinion influence the public sphere, participatory democracy, citizenship and civil society. Providing an original interpretation of the paradigmatic shifts in news content and newsroom practices, this book focuses on changing ownership patterns, increasing entertainmentalization of news and the resultant developmental reportage deficit. At the same time, it confronts the uneasy and critical consequences of commercialization and rising sensationalism in news media. Finally, it discusses the role of Public Service Broadcasting, journalistic ethics, objectivity, and the politics of language and ideology in the media today, pointing to the need for greater diversity of content on the one hand and an emphasis on public interest in media policy-making, on the other. Drawing upon comprehensive empirical data, the democracy–media–development relationship is demonstrated through critical analyses of the medias coverage of recent news events. This includes exhaustive content examination of news programmes on all major news channels of India, surveys with media experts and news professionals by way of questionnaires, and interviews with the audience to gauge the impact of media content on their understanding of social, political and economic issues. This volume will be especially useful to those in journalism, media and communication studies, as also to students of political science, sociology and economics.
