INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO MEDIA

A newspaper shall mean any printed periodical work containing public news or comments on
public news. It is the most common non- personal communication channel. It is a type of print
media which has a great influence on both rich and poor people. The main advantage of
newspaper is their flexibility and timeliness. It is a media having good local news coverage it
is broadly accepted and provides high believability Moreover it needs only low cost.

A newspaper dies every morning & a new day comes with a fresh daily. It is a unique feature
of newspaper industry compared to other industries. Newspaper reading have turned out as
a habit of the people. It has an industrial part of men day today life.

Compared with many other developing countries, the Indian press has flourished since
independence and exercise a large degree of independence. British colonialism allowed for the
development of tradition of freedom of the press, and many of India’s great English – language
newspaper and some of the its Indian – language press was begun during the nineteenth century.
As India became independent, ownership of India’s leading English-language newspapers was
transferred from British to Indian business groups, and the fact that most English – language
newspapers have the backing of large business houses has contributed their independence from
the government. IN 1950 there were 214 daily newspapers, with forty- four in English and the
result in Indian languages. By 1990 the number of daily newspapers had grown to 2,856 with
209 in English and 2,647 in indigenous languages. The expansion of literacy and the spread of
consumerism during the 1980s fueled the rapid growth of news weeklies and other periodicals.
By 1993 India had 35,595 newspapers of which 3,805 were dailies and other periodicals.
Although the majority of publications are in indigenous languages, the English – language
press, which has widespread appeal to the expanding middle class, has a wide multi-city
circulation throughout India.

There are four major publishing groups in India, each of which controls national and regional
English – language and vernacular publications. They are The Times of India Group, the
Indian Express Group, The Hindustan Times Group.

1.2ABOUT HINDUSTAN TIMES

Hindustan Times was founded in 1924 by Sunder Singh Lyallpuri, founder-father of the Akali
movement and the Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab Province.S Mangal Singh Gill (Tesildar)
and S. Chanchal Singh (Jandiala, Jalandhar) were made in charge of the newspaper. Madan
Mohan Malaviya and Tara Singh were among the members of the Managing Committee. The
Managing Chairman and Chief Patron was Master Sunder Singh Lyallpuri.

K. M. Panikkar was its first editor; Devdas Gandhi (son of Mahatma Gandhi) on the editor's
panel, and later editor.The opening ceremony was performed by Mahatma Gandhi on 26
September 1924. The first issue was published from Naya Bazar, Delhi (now Swami Sharda
Nand Marg). It contained writings and articles from C. F. Andrews, St. Nihal Singh, Maulana
Mohammad Ali, Cattamanchi Ramalinga Reddy, T. L. Vaswani, Ruchi Ram Sahni, Bernard
Haton, Harinder Nath Chattopadhyaya, Dr Saifuddin Kichlu and Rubi Waston etc.

K. M. Panikkar also known as Sadar Panikkar launched the Hindustan Times as a serious
nationalist newspaper. As an Oxonian, historian, and litterateur, Panikkar must have hoped to
make his paper eventually more than an Akali sheet. He became the editor and funds flowed
freely from activist Akali patrons. He exerted himself strenuously, but the paper made very
little headway. In two years Panikkar could not take the print order any higher than 3,000? By
then the Akali movement appeared to lose steam and funds dried up. The paper was saved from
an untimely demise when Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya stepped in to realize his vision of a
newspaper in Delhi.

Malaviya raised ₹50,000 rupees to acquire the Hindustan Times along with the help of
nationalist leaders Lajpat Rai and M. R. Jayakar and industrialist G. D. Birla, who paid most
of the cash. Birla took full control of the paper in 1933. The paper continues to be owned by
the Birla family.

It has its roots in the Indian independence movement of the first half of the twentieth century
and even faced the noted "Hindustan Times Contempt Case (August–November, 1941)" at
Allahabad High Court.It was edited at times by many important people in India, including
Devdas Gandhi, Sri Mulgaonkar, B.G.Verghese and Khushwant Singh. Sanjoy Narayan was

8
editor in chief of the paper from August 2008 till July 2016.Recently[when?] the editorial page
has seen a major makeover and has been named "comment" to bring in more flexibility and
somewhat less seriousness to the page.

MUMBAI EDITION

HT Mumbai has an eight-page daily lifestyle supplement (in broadsheet format) called HT
Cafe. It has its education supplement called "HT Education" on Wednesdays. The paper also
comes with a magazine on Sundays called Brunch. The Mumbai edition is managed by Mohit

Bhattacharya.

CHAPTER -2 LITERATURE REVIEW

LITERATURE REVIEW REGARDING PERCEPTION OF CONSUMERS FOR


NEWSPAPER

16
Koganuramath & Angadi (1999) researched on “Print Media Vs Internet Media.” They
researched on the change in print media to online journalism. They analysed on the websites
which has replaced print media with online journalism. It has described most of the On-line
newspapers which are free, interactive and archival in nature and provides users to search the
information on newspapers through various access points. It lists out comprehensively various
newspapers available on the net emphasizing in Indian context along with popular search
engines with possible danger involved in the sustainability of on-line newspapers in future. The
researchers also made an attempt to provide a comparison of print newspapers versus on-line
newspapers with respect to its usefulness and accessibility of users.

Kizito (2003) researched on “A Personal Experience of Learning with Print and Learning
with Electronic Media in Open and Distance Education” the paper discussed about a
personal investigation of the experiences of learning from print and electronic media. The study
was based on the way the author and other students experienced learning from both print and
electronic media during a course which was offered by the British Open University in 2002.
The course, H802: Applications of Information Technology in Open and Distance Education
was a distance learning course that used both print and electronic forms of media. The paper
focused on the forms of interaction and the quality of interaction through media.

Calder & Malthouse (2004) researched on “Qualitative Effects of Media on Advertising


Effects”. It examined the qualitative impact of print media for both newspaper and magazine,
on advertising effectiveness. It was found that the large majority of these media experiences
are related to advertising effectiveness. The readers experienced a newspaper or magazine as
'It makes me smarter', the more effective 63 advertisement in the magazine or newspaper is. It
is further shown that these effects are robust over a representative sample of 101 newspapers
and 100 magazines for a national sample of consumers in the United States. The research
concluded that the way a person experiences a magazine or newspaper can affect the way the
person reacts to advertising in the publication.
