DESCRIPTION
Referring to the use of mobile apps in the 2014 Indian general election or the Lok Sabha election, this paper seeks to explore, how the rise of the mobile apps is affecting the news culture in India. The electoral population of India was the largest in the world and the 2014 Indian general election was the longest and the most expensive general election in the history of the country. Considering the Indian general election as a case in point, this article seeks to explore, in what way, the rise of the mobile apps is affecting the traditional means of news access? Whether the shift to a society of control is linked to the question of the mobile apps as a politicizing instrument? To what extent new forms of political participation and sources of accountability may emerge through mobile apps and non-traditional routes? In response to such questions, this paper seeks to describe how the interactive, ubiquitous nature of mobile communication is affecting people’s engagement and participation in the 2014 Lok Sabha election within the emerging and increasingly complex news culture in India.
