MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN INDIA
Boasting one of the world's highest print circulations, the nation's press relies heavily on a deeply ingrained daily home-delivery tradition. Leading the English-language market is The Times of India, a broadsheet published by Bennett, Coleman and Company that commands massive readership, competing closely with the Delhi-centric Hindustan Times. The Hindu, a Chennai-based paper known for its centre-left editorial stance, maintains a strong national presence alongside the historically significant The Indian Express. Beyond English titles, vernacular readership is enormous, spearheaded by regional giants like the Hindi-language Dainik Jagran and the Malayalam daily Malayala Manorama.
