With the phenomenal growth of newspapers and periodicals in India, their styles have become as unique as the identities of individuals. Keeping track of the changing scenario in the Indian English press, this book presents a critical study of stylistic variations followed by leading dailies and periodicals. The exposition is supported by an in-depth analysis of historic case studies like Indira Gandhi\'s assassination, Bhopal gas tragedy and terrorism in Punjab. Also the book tries to answers some critical questions like:  Will the print media survive the Onslaught of the electronic media? Can a journalist be really objective in the present scenario?
