Abstract
The period from 1780 to 1900 holds immense
historical significance for Indian journalism. The Hicky’s Gazette,
launched in 1780 in Calcutta, was primarily intended for the British residing
in India and is recognized as India’s first newspaper. By 1900, Indian
journalism underwent a profound transformation—from the intellectual dominance
of British editors to the emergence of Indian editors, with Raja Rammohan Roy,
the pioneer of the Indian renaissance, leading the charge. Journalism evolved
from a British monopoly into a powerful medium for India’s freedom struggle and
renaissance. This research paper examines 20 major newspapers and periodicals
published between 1780 and 1900, aiming to understand the history of Indian
journalism and its role in the freedom struggle and renaissance.
