Abstract

The study examines and compares the editorial pages of four highly circulated newspapers: two Hindi dailies, Dainik Bhaskar and Dainik Jagran and two English dailies, Times of India and Hindustan Times. The research looks at the diversity of subjects addressed in their editorials and the presence of any biases. To understand how these newspapers convey different themes, the paper takes into account the socio-cultural and linguistic distinctions between Hindi and English readers in India. The study finds considerable differences in the selection and prioritising of editorial subjects among publications. While certain subjects such as national politics were largely covered, others such as regional affairs differed significantly.  The amount of bias was assessed by analysing the tone, framing and balance of arguments in editorials.
