Media
New Delhi being the capital of India, is the main center of Indian political reportage. Several media agencies in India, including state-owned Press Trust of India and Doordarshan, are based in New Delhi. New Delhi Television (NDTV) is among the largest television media networks in India Doordarshan and several other television networks regularly broadcast Indian parliament sessions. Delhi is center of media coverage in India during the Budget Session in the Parliament and during India's Republic and Independence Day celebarations. The state-owned television broadcaster Doordarshan provides two free terrestrial channels, while several MSO provide a mix of Hindi, English and other regional language channels. Satellite television (DTH) is yet to gain mass acceptance due to high installation costs. Delhi households receive over a hundred television channels via cable.

Doordarshan :-

Doordarshan had a modest beginning with the experimental telecast starting in Delhi in September, 1959 with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio. The regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio. The television service was extended to a second city – Mumbai (then Bombay) only in 1972. Till 1975, only seven cities were covered by DoorDarshan and it remained the only television channel in India. Television services were separated from radio in 1976. Each office of All India Radio and DoorDarshan were placed under the management of two separate Director Generals in New Delhi. Finally DoorDarshan as a National Broadcaster came into existence.

Press Trust of India :-

Press Trust of India is a nonprofit cooperative among the Indian newspapers. It took over the operations of the Associated Press of India and the Indian operations of Reuters soon after India's independence on August 27, 1947.

All India Radio :- (AIR for short), officially known as Akashwani is the radio broadcaster of India and a division of Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India), an autonomous corporation of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. It is the sister service of Prasar Bharati's Doordarshan, the national television broadcaster.


Delhi has a large print media industry. Hindustan Times, with over a million copies in circulation, is the single largest English daily in Delhi. Other major English newspapers include the Times of India, the Indian Express, the Hindu, the Pioneer and the Asian Age. However, most of the newspapers in Delhi are in Hindi. Hindi-daily Dainik Jagran is by far the most popular newspaper in Delhi followed by Hindustan, Dainik Bhaskar Navbharat Times and Punjab Kesri. A major reason for the popularity of print media in Delhi is the lack of popularity of electronic media. Even though a number of internet cafes have opened throughout Delhi, newspapers continue to dominate Delhi's media industry. Another reason for the wide popularity of newspapers in Delhi is their low cost. Major newspapers in India don't cost above 1.5 INR (4 US cents); they cover most of their costs from advertisements.

Hindustan times:-
The Hindustan Times is a leading newspaper in India. It is the market leader for English papers in North India. It has its roots in the independence movement of the first half of the twentieth century. It was edited at times by many important people in India, including Devdas Gandhi (the son of Mahatma Gandhi) and Khushwant Singh. Hindustan Times (or HT as it is popularly known as) was founded in 1924 by Master Sunder Singh Lyallpuri, founder-father of the Akali Movement and the Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab, with the contributions from USA, Canada and locals mostly from Lyallpur District Sheikhupura (now in Pakistan). S Mangal Singh Gill (Tesildar) and S. Chanchal Singh (Jandiala, Jullundur) were made in charge of the newspaper.
