I hope and trust that the readers will find this Report as useful and informative as earlier ones. Markandey Katju New Delhi Chairman March 31, 2014 Press Council of India Chapter-I General Review Print media as a traditional media plays a significant role in the development communication. In India, print media strengths have largely been shaped by its historical experience and in particular, by its association with the freedom struggle as well as movement for social emancipation, reform and ameliorations. Presently, keeping in view of the print media scenario it has been observed that the newspaper in India have been all pervasive and will continue to form a part of the fabric of Indian landscape. Today more and more people read newspaper then ever before as now newspapers are available in myriad mediums/formats despite the presence of electronic media. This has encouraged publishers to find more ways to match that growth with revenues from other revenues such as digital platform. In the country, new newspapers being published are continuing to grow at around 6% every year. While circulation numbers continue to grow across all edition of newspapers, that is more evident in regional edition which appear to have a strong brand following. It can not be denied that 24 hours news channels on television has had its impact on circulation of number of newspapers, it is evident that the world still prefer to ‘Wake up’ with a cup of tea and the newspaper. The regional language still rules the roost of being higher circulation dailies whereas at national level, the English language dailies rule. Digital edition of newspaper is a new ‘picking up’ trend particularly in people in metros wanting to catch up with the latest at their tablet or hand helds. To monetize digital contents publishers are looking forward for various applications (apps). Magazines on the other hand had a bumpy road ahead. Due to exposure of similar contents as T.V. and other medium, circulation of weeklies and monthlies is on decline. Publishers of magazine too are exploring innovative means to monetize digital contents by publishing paid digital editions of magazines. The 3G mobile networks have paved the way so for digitalization of contents of newspaper and magazine.

The newspapers have a very wide circulation and every literate person tries to go through them. They bring us the latest news, rates of the commodities, advertisements, employment news, matrimonial and other information [1]. Newspapers tend to reach more educated, elitist audiences in many developing countries. This may not seem the quickest way, compared with radio or TV, to reach a mass audience.

Set in the backdrop of the plains of Assam where the mighty Brahmaputra flows, the river is witness to the love, joy, success and ecstasy of the Assamese people. It is also witness to the religious frenzy, superstitions, betrayals, hate and violence that mark the dark hours of the night. Love and loyalty are hidden in the most unexpected quarters. Young Arjun fondly sings a lullaby to put a child to sleep… hatipoti, makipur, mezenga, bahut dur…! And in the end, deeply hurt to the core, he realizes that in this wide world, no one was truly your very own. Through the years, the Assamese have been known for their hospitality and kindness. Sayeed Ali, a Muslim boy, trapped in the middle of a communal riot, remembers the kindness of an aging Hindu couple. “Like a hen hiding her chicks from the claws of the kite, they protected me under the fold of their wings…” he says. And the stories go on until Abhijit’s final hour and beyond. These stories embrace a deep understanding of human behaviour as depicted by the authors. About the Translator Born in Calcutta, Dr. Deepika Phukan spent her childhood years in Madras and Jorhat and did her higher education from Guwahati. Her translated works include Moments, an anthology of short stories published by Cambridge India, Felanee, published by Zubaan, and Makam which is on the anvil with Zubaan for publication.

    COMMUNICATOR The Journal of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Volume LIII, Number-4, October-December, 2018 ISSN: 0588-8093 Message From Editor-in-Chief At the outset, I wish to express my gratitude to all the academicians and scholars who participated and presented papers at the National Seminar on “The State of Indian Language Journalism and Training” organised by IIMC with support from Indian Council of Social Sciences and Research (ICSSR) on October, 29 and 30, 2018 at IIMC Campus. K. G. Suresh The conference was organised to Editor-in-Chief commemorate the silver jubilee of Director General, IIMC our Eastern Regional Campus at Dhenkanal, Odisha from where we started our first language journalism programme in Odia. In the last three years, we have given a major push to language journalism launching a Malayalam Journalism programme at our Kottayam, Kerala campus and Marathi Journalism programme at Amravati, Maharashtra campus. This apart, we have upgraded the Certificate programme in Urdu Journalism to a full fledged Diploma programme. We have even started a three months Advanced Certificate Programme in Sanskrit Journalism in collaboration with the Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth besides setting up the Department of Indian Language Journalism. Future plans include starting Hindi and Urdu Journalism programmes from our Jammu campus and Bangla from our Odisha campus. Apart from the papers presented at the conference, many eminent academicians have also contributed to this volume. I am confident that this special issue on the state of Indian language journalism and training would be a collector’s issue for both students and scholars as also media persons across the country and would help them in better understanding of the issues at stake and take requisite steps to improve the quality and standard of both language journalism and training at a time when language journalism is growing by leaps and bounds.

ABSTRACT: Assam along with the entire Northeastern region is inhabited by several ethnic groups. They have been living in harmony since a long period. But sometimes, this peaceful region turns into turmoil and these ethnic groups and communities involve in violent ethnic conflict. Such conflict breaks social bond among the communities and destructs infrastructure, social order, economy, livelihood, education and legal system. Women and children are vulnerable towards conflict situation. Post conflict period has adverse effects especially on women. As media is the informer about the society, the role of media is crucial at times of emergency situation like war and conflict. This research paper tries to assess the role of print media in Assam in portraying the plight of women in conflict situation. The study has covered the ethnic conflicts occurred in Assam during the period of 1996-1998 and the area of the study is confined to Kokrajhar district of Assam. KEY WORDS: ethnic conflict, woman, community, media, society. INTRODUCTION Media is an influential medium in shaping the attitude of a society through conveying information. The prime responsibility of media is disseminating information. Media can play a powerful role in a democratic country. The function of media is to inform, entertain and to inculcate people with the values, beliefs and codes of behavior that will incorporate them into the institutional structures of the larger society.

  • The Assam Tribune
    / 17 Coverage of Antenatal Care by NRHM in Regional Newspapers of Assam with Special Reference to The Assam Tribune Arpana Barman * Dr. Arupjyoti Choudhury ^ Abstract National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has been launched in India with an aim to reduce the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) of the country. With the inception of NRHM, reduction of MMR is evident across all the States. Despite the decrease in MMR, the State of Assam continues to have higher than the national average. Various strategies have been adopted for curbing the increased MMR of the State including awareness generation through mass media. Print media is one of the sources for carrying health related messages to the masses. The present study is based on the content analysis of the coverage on Antenatal Care (ANC) by NRHM in a widely known local daily newspaper – The Assam Tribune . The concerned newspaper is studied on the content of coverage related to NRHM for a period of one year. It is observed that, in terms of numbers, maximum coverage by NRHM in the concerned paper are related to tender/quotation notices, advertisement for manpower recruitment and audits and bid. In terms of area of the column, maximum column space is occupied by display ads on feature articles, services provided under NRHM and projection of special drives like Mission Indradhanush for, Mission Tejaswi for consumption of Iron and Folic Acid, Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight (IDCF) for diarrhea control, Deworming Day, etc. Coverage of content related to ANC is almost negligible. Advocacy of the media fraternity needs to be strengthened based on the present context for health promotion in mass media.
