“This is definitely a remarkable ethnography about more than ‘just’ newspaper politics in North India, and so a worthwhile read for scholars and students interested in urbanized middle-class discourses, media practice in a variety of local settings in contemporary India.” · Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
“More than just a fascinating description of newsmaking and practice in an Indian city, this book has implications for theories of news and communication that make it a timely and significant contribution to the literature on journalism and newsmaking in the changing global environment.” · Mark Allen Peterson, Miami University
“The book is written in an accessible style…The author skillfully navigated a particularly challenging ethnographic field and has produced a work demonstrating thorough, firsthand knowledge of the complex and often hidden mechanisms of news production in contemporary India. Extensive engagement with secondary literature in English and German renders the book particularly useful to students and specialists of the media from various disciplinary backgrounds.” · H-Net Reviews
