Three out of every four anchors (among a total of 40 anchors in Hindi channels and 47 in English channels) of debates are upper caste. Not one is Dalit, Adivasi, or OBC ~ from Oxfam India's Report: Caste Representation in Indian Media
For over 70% of their primetime debate shows, news channels draw the majority of the panellists from the upper castes.

No more than 5% of all articles in English newspapers are written by Dalits and Adivasis.
Around 72% of bylined articles on news websites are written by people from the upper castes

Only 10 of the 972 articles featuring on the cover pages of the 12 magazines under study are about issues related to caste.
Of the 121 newsroom leadership positions – editor-in-chief, managing editor, executive editor, bureau chief, input/output editor – across the newspapers, TV news channels, news websites, and magazines under study, 106 are occupied by upper castes.
