Abstract
The media is known as a mirror of any society, and because of that, a national newspaper can be analyzed to know the current mindset of any nation. The different types of news and reports actually show the countrymen’s interests as media cover majority of that news that is of interest to their readers. In this study, the analysis is performed on the two leading Indian news providers, known as Hindustan Times and India Today. The main aim of this study is to find out the interest of Indians and Indian media houses in terms of national and international news. To make a generalized comment, six-month data of recent past is used for the analysis purpose. Different parameters (for same duration) are considered for the analysis of the news for both the e-papers so that media house’s interest can also be compared.
