Technologies of news transmission -- Sites of practice and discourses of telegraphy -- Journalists and journalism in nineteenth-century India -- Making news and views : colonial policy and the roe of Reuters -- Reporting foreign and domestic news.

Summary: This work explores the interconnected history of telegraphy and journalism in colonial India.
