Question
Why is local media gaining prominence? Give an example.
✓
Answer
- Recognising that the media will not be interested in covering small issues that involve ordinary people and their daily lives, several local groups have come forward to start their own media.
- For instance, community radio is used to tell farmers about seeds and fertilisers.
- Others make documentary films on real-life conditions faced by different poor communities.
- Another example is a newspaper called Khabar Lahriya run by eight Dalit women in Chitrakoot (UP).
- It used Bundeli about local issues like violence against women, Dalit exploitation, etc.
