Disrupting Mainstream Journalism in India offers a comprehensive and
empirically-grounded analysis of the production of digital journalism
by marginalized groups within Indian society. Drawing on in-depth
interviews with practitioners as well as samples of news content, the
author critically examines the way in which varied forms of digital
alternative journalism provide socially, economically and politically
disadvantaged groups with new and unprecedented opportunities to
express their own perspectives, as well as offering alternatives to
the hegemony of mainstream news narratives. These marginalized groups
include women, Dalits and Muslims whose voices tend to be erased or
misrepresented within the public sphere. By exploring these
disruptions, Chadha offers insight into not only into the new media
landscape of India but also its implications for journalism and
democracy at large. Disrupting Mainstream Journalism in India is a
valuable empirical resource for students and scholars interested in
Indian media, journalism and democracy.
