The Indian newspaper industry has been celebrated globally in communication research, as it continues to grow, both in circulation and readership. However, little is known about the journalists who work in this celebrated industry. Labor as a whole is sidelined in media research, and it is the same in the context of India. This study presents an insight into the working conditions of newspaper journalists, focusing on the newspaper journalists working in the state of Karnataka, India. The study employs critical political economy of media to analyze the working conditions of journalists. It begins by outlining critical political economy, recent research on political economy of media labor, and history of Indian media with a focus on newspapers. The study, then, provides an overview of the Working Journalists Act and a historical account of the journalists wage boards constituted since 1956. Further, it utilizes this historical context, to examine the current working conditions of newspaper journalists, based on in-depth interviews of newspaper journalists. The study reveals the exploitation of newspaper journalists, through the analysis of their daily work and how structural dynamics of the newspapers allow owners to underpay and overwork newspaper journalists. The study also reveals mechanism of exploitation at a time when newspapers are transitioning toward digital media. Lastly, it examines whether these conditions of work of journalists will be favourable for democracy, and provides recommendations on how to change and improve the working conditions of journalists, in order for them to carry out their democratic responsibilities. The study aims to contribute and fill gaps in research about media labor in India.
