  • Government Advertising As an Indicator of Media Bias in India
    Sciences Po Paris Government Advertising as an Indicator of Media Bias in India by Prateek Sibal A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Master in Public Policy under the guidance of Prof. Julia Cage Department of Economics May 2018 Declaration of Authorship I, Prateek Sibal, declare that this thesis titled, 'Government Advertising as an Indicator of Media Bias in India' and the work presented in it are my own. I confirm that: This work was done wholly or mainly while in candidature for Masters in Public Policy at Sciences Po, Paris. Where I have consulted the published work of others, this is always clearly attributed. Where I have quoted from the work of others, the source is always given. With the exception of such quotations, this thesis is entirely my own work. I have acknowledged all main sources of help. Signed: Date: iii Abstract by Prateek Sibal School of Public Affairs Sciences Po Paris Freedom of the press is inextricably linked to the economics of news media busi- ness. Many media organizations rely on advertisements as their main source of revenue, making them vulnerable to interference from advertisers. In India, the Government is a major advertiser in newspapers. Interviews with journalists sug- gest that governments in India actively interfere in working of the press, through both economic blackmail and misuse of regulation. However, it is difficult to gauge the media bias that results due to government pressure. This paper determines a newspaper's bias based on the change in advertising spend share per newspa- per before and after 2014 general election.

  • Print Industry Looks Ahead with Cautious Optimism
    June 2014 | Volume 35 | Issue 6 | Rs 40 Surveywww.pressinstitute.in RINDA Journal of the Press Institute of India - Research Institute for Newspaper Development PRINT INDUSTRY LOOKS AHEAD WITH CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM In its outlook for 2014-15, Koenig & Bauer (KBA) refers to increased risks for the global economy resulting from the crisis in the Ukraine, reduced growth in China and the negative currency effects in key threshold countries. The company anticipates that advanced economies, such as the USA and the Euro Zone, will take on a greater role in terms of growth. Nevertheless, the strong euro is a competitive disadvantage for German press manufacturers compared to Japanese and other competitors from outside the EU in Asian markets and countries with a weak currency. KBA is realigning its traditional offset business to “a significantly smaller and structurally fundamentally changed press market environment”. Picture shows the highly automated KBA Commander CT, a leader in high-end newspaper printing. FROM THE EDITOR ‘Why am I doing what I am doing?’ Give employees the ‘big picture’ A few days before Tamil Nadu went to the polls in General Elections 2014, the Press Institute of India conducted a discussion on the role of the media in the elections. One of the participants was T.S. Krishnamurthy, former chief election commissioner of India. Towards the end of the programme, one of the young reporters present came up to me and enquired who the speaker was. When I mentioned Krishnamurthy’s name, he seemed a trifle nonplussed and went on to ask me who Krishnamurthy was. To my response – how did he not know a former chief election commissioner and that too, from his own home state – his nonchalant reply was that he had only recently joined the newspaper (part of a leading national news publishing house).
