Gandhi. Known as the Mahatma and the Father of India, Gandhi was also a journalist. However, he was a not a journalist in the same vein as those working for the \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         or the BBC. Rather, Gandhi was what is called an advocacy journalist; that is, his journalism served various political, social, and cultural causes—most importantly, in the long run, the Indian independence movement. Among the other key causes were equality, human rights, Muslim-Hindu relations, vegetarianism, chastity, poverty, and hygiene. The chapters in this book were written by authors who attended a conference on Gandhi and media at the University of St. Andrews on the 150th anniversary of Gandhi’s birthday, in October 2019. It relies on careful analysis of his newspapers, produced in both South Africa and India, including \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003eIndian\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                         \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003eOpinion\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                        , \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003eYoung India\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                        , the Gujarati newspaper \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003eNavajivan\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                        , and three versions of \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003eHarijan, \u003c\/i\u003e\n                                        which were in English, Gujarati, and Hindi. The authors also place Gandhi’s version of journalism in a historical context of small, family-operated weekly newspapers that were commonplace in the nineteenth century. Finally, the book looks at other media tools Gandhi used to transmit his messages to the public, including his recorded voice for gramophone.\n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781433182419\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9781433182419","offer_id":40418723627101,"sku":"9781433182419","price":84.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d98a0bba-dd11-4f41-8576-e70e120d186d.jpg?v=1783051812","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/gandhi-advocacy-journalism-and-the-media-von-undefined","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
