Mass Communication in India


The recent past has seen India awaken to the call of media and this fact has led to major developments in the Mass Communication study-sectors across India, which in turn has led to the establishment of various media houses- be it newspaper agencies or TV channels or advertising firms, etc. Today, the media plays a very important role in every individual’s life. Initially, common people were not very bothered about what the media was doing and media was strictly restricted to the government and the business houses. But today, every common man’s problem is constantly reflected through media. And there is hardly any section of the society or any issues that are not taken up by the media. In fact, media has become a platform where common men can raise their problems and demand justice to any issue that is in circulation. Media has indeed become an integral part of a common man’s life.
