A thread on key findings of a Report published by @IIMC_India, which analyses Western Media coverage of socio-political developments in India over a decade.
newsonair.com/2022/02/19/why…
Case studies in the Report expose the editorial prejudices and biases of Western Media against India. Here's one of the many examples highlighted in the report - New York Times cartoon which ridiculed India’s budget mission to Mars. @nytimes
Report exposes how Western Media has different yardstick for coverage of similar socio-political developments in India & in the West. Case in point - Pulwama terror attack called an explosion by @nytimes, & difference in coverage of COVID peaks in India and at home. @emilyschmall
Report highlights inability of foreign correspondents to understand complexities of Indian society. Example – @nytimes report paints India’s decision to promote its indigenous textile industry as an obstacle in country’s growth.
@TIME @emilyschmall @WSJIndia @washingtonpost
Analysis of readership data in the report indicates that correlation between their digital readership growth in India & their sensational reportage is strong. Their readership in India has grown more rapidly in comparison to their growth globally. @HannahEP @nytimes @WSJ @TIME
