2. Purpose To reveal potential for the print media, TV, radio, cinema and Internet in various regions according to population, age and gender

7. PRESENT SCENARIO

8. IRS 2011 Overall media reach through conventional media in India is still hovering around 64.7 per cent In spite of all the technological advances, even today, two out of every five Indians are not reachable by any conventional media.

9. Print Media Dainik jagaran and Dainik Bhaskar have maximum reach Times of India – most popular English daily No. 1 magazine- Vanita

10. Television TV reach is the highest. TV ownership has increased but reach has not kept pace with it. Possible reasons –growing economy –increase of nuclear families requiring more TV sets –The viewership marginally fell during late evening prime time (7–11 pm), while slightly increased during early evening prime time (4-7 pm). with the declining Non C&S households, Doordarshan is getting marginalized. DTH is driving the growth of television today

11. Radio Listening Time spent listening to radio is increasing and place of listening is changing

12. Internet Internet growth has risen by 32.5% compared to previous year Regular usage is very high, allowing quick reach build up. Access to Internet is still highest from the cyber cafés, but now it is increasing rapidly in mobiles.

13. Internet Although Internet penetration is very low in rural India compared to that of urban, it is growing.

14. Conclusion Radio reaches people easily Television is fastest growing and most powerful mass medium in rural India Print media faces problems of both reach and access coupled with low literacy rates Other conventional outdoor media includes – wall paintings, POP displays( danglers, display signs and boards, tin plates, display racks and dispensers) Mass media communication can only create brand recognition. Non- conventional rural-centric media and BTL activities are more important in rural markets.
