The increasingly complex and elusive media landscape
has thrown fresh challenges to an unsettled ecosystem
of media policy in India. This paper traces some of the
challenges posed by the new communications
technologies and the variegated field of media practices

paper proposes that the policy framework should
include a modular and unbundled approach to media

should move beyond the contradictory impulses of
