Abstract
Media has become an integral part of everyday lives of the people. India has seen a multitude of media forms since its inception. One of the earliest forms of media in India has been palm leaves. Later, manuscripts, rock edicts and other forms of media came into existence. However, these forms of media were used mostly by royal people and elites and not by the common man for a long period of time. As time progressed, these communication forms were being used by the common man as well. Newspapers,Magazines, Radio, Television and Films followed suit later in the country through the course of time. As years and eras of media domination went by more and more newer media platforms emerged in the society and found their spaces amongst audiences of all age groups. Women despite accounting for 52% of India’s populace were looked down upon as someone who are incapable of doing things. Over the course of time, this perception has changed greatly and as a result of it, we get to see women play active roles in various fields and arenas. Although there is much progress in this regard, there are crimes that are happening even at this juncture against women. The current research paper is envisioned to explore the portrayal and description of framing of news in Indian Express newspaper.
