Mapping
Digital Media: India is the latest Open Society Foundation report
examining "global opportunities and
risks created by the transition from traditional to digital media." This
154-page report is part of a series covering 60 countries; each is evaluated in
terms of how digital media affect "core democratic service that any
media system should provide: news about political, economic, and social
affairs." Since September of 2012, reports on Croatia, Slovenia, China, Spain,
Central Africa have been published and March 2013 has produced reports on
Kenya, and Bulgaria, and now India.
For a perspective on "digital switchover" country by country from broadcast analog systems, especially as it effects democracy and freedom of expression, you'll want to check in with these reports.
