Description 164-183
The reporting of research and development is very important for any
organisation as it is not only simple reporting to keep the general public
updated on the developments but as it also involves critical evaluation of
different programmes and activities. The present study is the quantitative
analysis of 2382 unique news items, related to 59 ISRO missions
launched during the period 2011-2020, retrieved from the Bangalore
edition of four popular English print newspapers namely Deccan Herald,
The Hindu, The New Indian Express, and The Times of India.
The collected data was further categorised into different missions
based on their applications for analysis. By applying one full credit
for each mission covered in the news items, a total of 3729 news
items were found. Of all the ISRO missions launched during the
period of study, GSLV-MkIII-M1/Chandrayaan-2 had the highest
news coverage with 742 (19.89 per cent) news items followed by
PSLV-C25/Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) with 601 (16.12 per
cent) news items. The study further observed that there is no
uniformity in reporting and coverage among the selected newspapers.
