A comparative study of four Indian Newspapers ppt 2019
This document provides a comparative study of the front page and editorial sections of four major Indian newspapers - Times of India, Indian Express, Rajasthan Patrika, and Gujarat Samachar. Key findings from analyzing over a week of issues include that political news made up over half of front page headlines, and advertisements sometimes made the front pages feel cluttered. The editorial sections varied in format and content across the newspapers, with some including more letters to the editor or illustrations. The study provided insights into the differences in how the newspapers prioritized and presented their news and opinions.
