Assamese newspapers—losing out to local news channels?
Rapid growth of satellite news channels, emergence of portals and dwindling standards of news & other articles in newspapers (both daily and periodicals) of Assam have led to heavy loss of readership over the last year. At least two recent quarterly surveys of Indian Readership Survey (IRS, Q2 2011and IRS, Q1 2011) show that all major vernacular dailies of the state have lost readers. The only exception is The Assam Tribune, the oldest newspaper of the region, which has registered some increase since 2010. http://thehoot.org/web/home/story.php?storyid=5534&mod=1&pg=1§ionId=2&valid=true _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
