"A well-written, accessible text suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The authors build a solid foundation in the economics of media as it has mainly been developed in western countries, and apply it with excellent effect to understand Indian television, newspapers, film and other media."
David Waterman, Professor Emeritus of The Media School, Indiana University
"The academic study of the media and its management in India has not kept pace with the transformation of the media industry, which has grown exponentially in the past two decades. Elavarthi and Chitrapu's timely book fills an existing gap in scholarship in this field and would be extremely useful for students and researchers."
Daya K. Thussu, Professor of International Communication, Hong Kong Baptist University
"The authors have written a must-read primer for anyone considering a career in media economics and management. It is a valuable resource for all students, teachers, scholars, and practitioners in the media industries."
Sundeep R. Muppidi, Professor of Communication, University of Hartford
"Two excellent scholars have provided a highly readable and comprehensive introduction to an important field of study.
