News Production Practices in Indian Television: an Ethnography of Star News and Starananda Degree: Phd
University of London Abstract of thesis Author: Somnath Batabyal Title of Thesis: News Production Practices in Indian Television: An ethnography of Star News and StarAnanda Degree: PhD This thesis is the result of fieldwork carried out in television newsrooms in two Indian cities. The research was situated in Star Ananda in Kolkata and in Star News in Mumbai, both channels part of the Rupert Murdoch owned Star group. The fieldwork was conducted through 2006 and the early part of 2007. Doordarshan , the state run and the only television channel available in India till the early 1990s had enforced a hegemonic, unitary notion of India since its inception. In a world of media plenty, had the national imaginary changed, and if so, how? The central research question this thesis tries to answer, therefore, is: has the proliferation of private news channels in India in every regional language given rise to a pluarility in how the nation is articulated in Indian television? Methodologically, this thesis takes an ethnographic approach. It uses participant observation and depth interview techniques as research methods. With over 90 recorded interviews with senior journalists and media managers, this thesis provides rich empirical material and in-depth case studies. This work makes three overarching claims. Firstly, the assumed traditional divide between corporate and editorial no longer holds in Indian television. Each also does the job of the other and a distinction between them is purely rhetorical. Secondly, journalists imagine themselves as the audience and produce content they think they and their families w ill like. Given that these professionals mostly come from wealthy backgrounds, across television channels in India a singular narrative in content and a hegemonic understanding o f an affluent “ nation” is achieved.
