The mass media
in India is independent and to a large extent privately owned. About 3,000 newspapers,
150 of them major publications, are published daily in nearly 100 languages.
Over 30,000 periodicals are also published in India. The periodicals specialise
in various subjects but the majority of them deal with subjects of general interest.
All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan (DD), which were totally under government
control since their inception, are now governed by an independent body of eminent
persons who constitute the Prasar Bharati Board. A large number of private channels
also beam their programmes across the country through the satellite. All the
prominent newspapers, magazines, TV and radio channels have world wide web pages(listed
below) which can be accessed for news and developments in India.
