Abstract
While there have been numerous analyses of the content of English-language news media in India, very little work has been done on historicizing the media to understand how comtemporary media discourses intersect with social formations such as class. This article interrogates the relationship between the English language, introduced during colonialism, mass media, class formation, and social and economic power in India. The article primarily examines the upper-class bias of the English-language media in India; it focuses on the process by which the English-language media articulate and support the interests and ideology of the English-educated urban upper/middle classes.
