Understanding Indian Newsroom: A Review of Select Ethnographic Texts

Abstract The three selected texts are a timely addition to the scantly researched area of newsroom ethnography in the Indian context. They make a substantial case for the need of an ethnographic study into newsrooms in a non-Western context. The authors argue that the ethnographic studies of the 1970s and 1980s are proving ineffectual to grasp the complexities of the fast-changing news ecology of the current time. These earlier studies were conducted in Western countries and replicating the same model to understand non-Western media is futile.
