Ladakh - Media

Media

The government radio broadcaster "All India Radio" (AIR) and government television station "Doordarshan" both have stations in Leh that broadcast local content for a few hours a day. Beyond that, Ladakhis themselves produce feature films that are screened in auditoriums and community halls. They are often made on fairly modest budgets.

There are also a handful of private news outlets.

  • Rangyul or Kargil Number is a newspaper published from Kashmir serving Ladakh in English and Urdu.
  • reachladakh.com has Ladakhi reporters posting news regularly.
  • Daily updated news of Ladakh can be accessed on visitladakh.com.

Some publications that cover Jammu and Kashmir as a whole, also provide some coverage of Ladakh.

  • The Daily Excelsior, claims to be "The largest circulated daily of Jammu and Kashmir".
  • Epilogue, a monthly magazine covering Jammu and Kashmir.
  • Kashmir Times, a daily newspaper covering Jammu and Kashmir.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.
    Serge Daney (1944–1992)

    The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
