How India’s news media became an elaborate PR machine: It’s the economy, stupid -Aunindyo Chakravarty

The boom of the 2000s met the inevitable decline of 2008, followed by a political atmosphere that was hostile to independent journalism.
What caused India’s news media to become an elaborate PR machine for the government and corporates? It’s the economy, stupid.
Let me unpack this a bit by comparing two numbers from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy’s monthly employment data. Five years ago, in September 2016, there were about 10.3 lakh people working in India’s media and publishing industry. In August 2021, it dropped to 2.3 lakh.
That’s a whopping 78 percent drop in media and publishing jobs. Effectively, four out of every five media employees have either lost their jobs or have left the profession. And no, it is not because of Covid. The biggest collapse of these jobs took place between January and December 2018.
