The first ethnography to examine the role of urban transformation, caste and language in shaping India's contemporary news culture.

Recenzje

'… the topic is engrossing, the interviews are full of insights, and the author's industry is unquestionable. The book adds another perspective on Bengaluru, India's most switched-on city, and how its swelling numbers of citizens relate to the media by which they connect to their world.' Robin Jeffrey, Asian Studies Review
