Set in the context of a transformed media landscape, the book attempts to understand and analyze the role two private national news channels, NDTV 24x7 and Aaj Tak, in producing mediatized narratives that offer a commentary on the various social, political, cultural, religious and economic issues in the public domain. This is achieved by critically examining the process and techniques of production, representation and consumption of current affairs programmes such as studio debates, panel discussions, audience talk shows and documentaries aired on both the channels. Highlighting some of the key trends that impinge on the structure and mode of operation of television news media in contemporary India, the book offers a simultaneous examination of how the production, representation and consumption of the mediatized discourses, shape the nature of public discourse, and have social-political ramifications for the functioning of Indian democracy. The book will be of interest to researchers in sociology, media and communication studies, popular culture and South Asian Studies"-- Media, democracy and discourse : a conceptual framework -- Television news, state and market : the changing dynamics -- Television news in contemporary India : charting the field -- Production of current affairs programming : a study of NDTV 24x7 -- Production of current affairs programming : a study of Aaj Tak -- Representation of current affairs programming : a thematic analysis of NDTV 24x7 and Aaj Tak -- Consumption of current affairs programming : mapping voices of viewers.
