Some 62 individuals in India had volunteered to participate in the monitoring and joined the gmmpindia yahoogroup set up a few months ago to facilitate communication related to the project across the country. Among the original e-group members were 7 men.

Today 22 volunteers from various walks of life (including several journalists and mass communications/journalism faculty), located in different parts of the country, are monitoring 26 newspapers in 10 languages, 13 TV channels in 6 languages, and 6 radio stations in 5 languages. Seven of these volunteers are professors/teachers who are involving students from their respective educational institutions in the monitoring. In addition, students in 19 colleges scattered across the country (many outside the large metropolises) are participating in the monitoring, covering mainly print media. The male quotient is not bad, thanks mainly to the student participants.

We'll probably have more data than required for the global report (which needs data from a maximum of 10 newspapers, 12 TV channels and 12 radio stations in India). But we hope we'll be able to put together a national report, which I think will be the first of its kind here and could serve a variety of useful purposes within the country. The inclusion of media based outside the big cities would certainly make such a report especially unique and rich.

For many of us (including myself) this is our first experience with participation in the GMMP, although several of us are of course familiar with all the earlier reports. So there was a fair bit of nervousness on the eve of D-Day. But I hope the tension has eased off now that the actual monitoring has begun. And that volunteers from India will soon share their experiences and perceptions in this forum.

Congratulations to the India monitoring team!
