Abstract
This study analyzes the content of front-page business news in three of
the largest Hindi newspapers Dainik Jagran, Hindustan, and Amar Ujala from Jan
2021-2 Dec 2024. Using quantitative methods, the study examines the frequency,
thematic patterns, tone, source attribution, and other frames to establish
where the editors, writers and newspapers were positioning themselves based on
editorial choices. From a structured random sample, the study reviewed a total
of 548 front-page business news, using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social
Science) to analyze the articles for descriptive statistics and chi-square
tests. Findings show that Dainik Jagran had the most coverage (204 articles).
The predominant thematic domain was economic policies (28.3%) under which
stories were grouped. When conducting sentiment analysis, the neutral tone
dominated (40%); and many stories cited government sources in Dainik Jagran
(45%). The study demonstrates major discrepancies in how business news is
framed across the three newspapers indicating where newspapers assigned editorial
space, and how newspapers overlooked business and economic news. The
significance of this research is in assessing how the media frame business and
economic issues in Hindi print journalism, and what their impact is on
informational public awareness and perception.
