Summary: A detailed, systematic analysis of press coverage (English language press as well as Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati, and Bengali language press) of five issues related to Indian women and a critique of the portrayal of women on prime time television between 1979 and 1988. The five issues are: dowry-related deaths; rape; the right to maintenance of Muslim divorcees; the misuse of sex determination tests such as amniocentesis; and the re-emergence of the banned practice of "sati" (widow burning).
