Authored by Dr. Manu Bhaskar, this book critically examines how media, particularly the Indian press, influences political awareness.

This essential read for sociology and political science enthusiasts delves into the press’s ownership, control, and circulation, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of power and public opinion in a developing nation. Ideal for readers interested in Indian media, class struggles, and political participation.
