Answer
Local Media:
- Most of the big houses of media are not interested in covering 'small' issues that involve ordinary people and their daily lives.
- Hence several local groups have come forward to start their own media.
- Several people use community radio to tell farmers about the prices of different crops and advise them on the use of seeds and fertilizers.
- Others make documentary films with fairly cheap and easily available video cameras on the real-life conditions of the poor communities.
- A newspaper called Khabar Lahriya is a fortnightly and run by eight Dalit women in Chitrakoot district in Uttar Pradesh.
- Written in the local language 'Bundeli' this eight page newspaper reports on Dalit issues and cases of violence against women and political corruption.
- Such media is termed as local media. The media highlights the working of the government.
- In this way it 'sets the agenda'.
- Sometimes the government imposes censorship and gets published what it wants.
