Disrupting Mainstream Journalism in India: The Rise of Alternative Journalisms Online

di Kalyani Chadha (Autore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024

Disrupting Mainstream Journalism in India offers a comprehensive and empirically-grounded analysis of the production of digital journalism by marginalized groups within Indian society. Drawing on in-depth interviews with practitioners as well as samples of news content, the author critically examines the way in which varied forms of digital alternative journalism provide socially, economically and politically disadvantaged groups with new and unprecedented opportunities to express their own perspectives, as well as offering alternatives to the hegemony of mainstream news narratives. These marginalized groups include women, Dalits and Muslims whose voices tend to be erased or misrepresented within the public sphere. By exploring these disruptions, Chadha offers insight into not only into the new media landscape of India but also its implications for journalism and democracy at large. Disrupting Mainstream Journalism in India is a valuable empirical resource for students and scholars interested in Indian media, journalism and democracy.
