Privatizing the airwaves: the impact of globalization on broadcasting in India

Article Abstract:

The Indian government privatized broadcasting in 1991, after which there was significant growth in private broadcasters. After gaining independence in 1947, India was careful not to change the state-controlled radio they had inherited from the British. With privatization Indian viewers have been introduced to MTV and info-tainment following the American model, causing concern that objectivity of the news has been sacrificed for profit. Some observers point out that government controlled news India had before 1991 was not objective either.

The globalization of electronic news in the 19th century

Article Abstract:

Nineteenth-century news agencies were the first organizations to globalize electronic news. Near-instantaneous transmission of distant events altered popular perception of time and space. This global news space has been characterized as having no frontiers, but the news agencies took considerable care to erect territorial and temporal barriers that, in many cases, continue to control public access and perception.
