Media coverage of Science and Technology in Delhi NCR – July 2017
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Journalism & Mass Communication - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The mass media have a serious role to play in enabling the public understanding of science and technology. Media persons typically adopt the position of “intermediaries” between the scientist and members of the public who are fascinated in a given scientific subject or issue. For this motive, according to Farr (1993), any effort to understand the social depiction of science – that is, how science is seized in the public dreams – would be unfinished without examining the mass media exemplification of science. Until now in India especially in NCR very rare studies have analytically inspected the volume, quality, scope, and insights of the coverage of science and technology. One such learning by Ved Prakash (2016) scrutinized the state of science and technology coverage in the print media e.g newspaper and magazine, in NCR. This one established that there were fairly few science and technology write-up, news or feature story in the sample of newspapers studied. A number of analysts have tried to examine the issues that account for the type and level of coverage that science and technology get in the mass media. However news organisations in various progressive economies are scrabbling back meaningfully on the resources they dedicate to covering science and technology, attentiveness in this field is growing in India. According to Irwin (2009), for the period of a major conference on science journalism in 2009, orators from developing countries were expectant about a flow of interest in science and science journalism in their countries.
