At the turn of the millennium, Indian journalism has undergone significant changes. The rapid commercialization of the press, together with an increase in literacy and political consciousness, has led to swift growth in the newspaper market but also changed the way news makers mediate politics. Positioned at a historical junction where India is clearly feeling the effects of market liberalization, this study demonstrates how journalists and informants interactively create new forms of political action and consciousness. The book explores English and Hindi newsmaking and investigates the creation of news relations during the production process and how they affect political images and leadership traditions. It moves beyond the news–room to outline the role of journalists in urban society, the social lives of news texts and the way citizens bring their ideas and desires to bear on the news discourse.
This important volume contributes to an emerging debate about the impact of the media on Indian society. Furthermore, it convincingly demonstrates the inseparable link between media related practices and dynamic cultural repertoires.

News as Culture: Journalistic Practices and the Remaking of Indian Leadership Tradition (Anthropology of Media Series), Vol. 3
I'm actually editing the WikiSource version of this. It's not online yet, so this will take a while.
Editing an OCR document & reading the contents at the same time is not a great way to really comprehend the finer points or total thrust of a book, but from what I've seen so far, there is no real need. Sinclair is just whining about how unfair life is. It's actually nauseating. He starts out in "The Story of a Poet" writing his experiences in the third person then switches to the first person in the third chapter in an attempt to make his case more palatable & sympathetic. Major fail!
No, being an author isn't easy. Yes, it's based on popularity or rather what editors see as being popular. Is it right or fair? Sure. They're in business to make money, not to support whiny authors that are out of step with their readership. Especially not when the author has half-baked ideals of extreme social change & are constantly pushing an agenda that few can stomach much less believe in. Some preachers can get by with uncompromising denunciations from their supposed high moral ground, but not unsupported radicals. They're generally ignored or made jeered at on a slow news day. This is exactly what happened & what Sinclair is whining about. No one takes him seriously, even though he spends all summer in a cabin in Canada writing his heart out. Go figure.
I got maybe 1/3 of the way through & just couldn't keep my interest up. Life isn't fair, but whining about it hysterically doesn't help. Grow up!
