Abstract

In the run-up to the Lok Sabha election of 2014, media coverage wasby and large considered to have been favourable to the BharatiyaJanata Party and critical of the incumbent government. This studyanalysed the framing of news and opinions on economic policy inbusiness newspapers during the six-month period preceding the election.It found that the coverage in four leading business dailies wasmarginally more positive of the government than it was critical. Usingconcepts from social construction of reality, it reveals that even whenthe presentation was positive of the government, the underlying reasonsfor such coverage were different in different newspapers.
