देश के टाप देन सबसे बड़े पब्लिकेशन्स में अंग्रेजी का सिर्फ एक अखबार है.
वह है टाइम्स आफ इंडिया. बाकी सारे अखबार हिंदी या क्षेत्रीय भाषाओं के
हैं. इससे पता चलता है कि यह देश भले ही अंग्रेजीदां लोग चला रहे हों लेकिन
देश की जनता को अपनी भाषा में पढ़ना, सुनना और समझना पसंद है. तब भी
दुर्भाग्य देखिए की रीडरशिप सर्वे के आंकड़े अंग्रेजी में ही जारी किए जाते
हैं. टाप टेन पब्लिकेशन्स में नंबर वन पर है दैनिक जागरण अखबार. दसवें
नंबर पर है मातृभूमि अखबार. टाइम्स आफ इंडिया छठें नंबर पर है. आईआरएस 2012
