India / Media


The Constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and expression is reflected in the media policy of the country. A free press is a reality and not merely a cherished dream. Of the 150 major publications in English and 350 in Indian languages, most are privately owned. Altogether 4453 newspapers are published daily in over 100 languages and dialects. Over 30,000 periodicals are also published in India.

A large number of private channels both Indian and foreign operate through the Country's radio and television network. A revolution in the electronic media made this possible and today news and views from all over the worlds are accessible through television and the Internet, resulting in a free exchange of information. An indecent body of eminent persons who constitute the Prasar Bharati Board governs the official government media, All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan (DD). Doordarshan is the National Television service of India and is one of the largest broadcasting organizations in the world. It has now grown into a network of three National channels, two special interest channels, 10 regional language channels, four state networks and an International channel.
