of media in moulding public opinion, public right to information and 
concerns of national security, the politics of representation, media 
ethics and investigative journalism, sting operations, etc. as well as 
the changing dynamics of media representation in the global context, the 
tensions between the global and the local, how meaning is negotiated in 
different contexts, sensationalizing ‘breaking’ stories, allegations of 
‘dumbing down’ and issues of privacy among others.

The Keynote address at the seminar will be delivered by Prof. Aijaz
