Abstract
ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic posed a tough challenge for Indian English language newspapers. During the Covid lockdowns in India, the production processes of newspapers were severely disrupted as the editorial, sales and production staff found it difficult to report to offices. Faced with a crisis, newspaper organisations had little choice but to rapidly augment their production systems, processes and employee workflows to ensure the continuity of publication. Even though many employees worked from home, most Indian newspapers survived the pandemic and eventually designed a more effective and efficient production process. This study documents the survival strategies of English language Indian newspapers during the Covid lockdowns in India.

期刊介绍:
Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
