The book covers a period of a little more than two hundred years – from 1780 to 1997, to be precise. Written in a lucid style, it traces, in brief, the evolution of the methods of communication and the print media, with special emphasis on the role of ‘Newsletters,’ which, in course of time, took the form of newspapers. These and other relevant aspects, like the late arrival of English newspapers in India, are discussed in the Prologue.
The actual history begins in Chapter One, which deals with the early years of the Indian Press – from the first abortive attempt by William Bolts to bring out a newspaper to ventilate his personal grievances against the East India Company bosses. What Bolts could not achieve, James Augustus Hicky did about 12 years after the deportation of the former.
