In India the print and the electronic media are both very active. It was reported that in 1993, there were approximately 4000 newspapers being published in the country. The publications in the country are in Hindi, English and all vernacular languages. There is also a good range of weekly, fortnightly and monthly magazines in the country which cover a whole range of national as well as international issues in depth.
