INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

Preference
A preference is a technical term in psychology, economics and philosophy usually used in

relation to choosing between alternatives; someone has a preference for A over B if they would
choose A rather than B.
Psychology
In psychology, preferences refer to an individual’s attitude towards a set of objects, typically
reflected in an explicit decision-making process (Lichtenstein & Slovic, 2006). The term is also
used to mean evaluative judgment in the sense of liking or disliking an object (e.g., Scherer,
2005) which is the most typical definition employed in psychology. However, it does not mean
that a preference is necessarily stable over time. Preference can be notably modified by decision-
making processes, such as choices (Brehm, 1956; Sharot, De Martino, & Dolan, 2009), even
unconsciously (see Coppin, Delplanque, Cayeux, Porcherot, & Sander, 2010). Consequently,
preference can be affected by a person's surroundings and upbringing in terms of geographical
location, cultural background, religious beliefs, and education. These factors are found to affect
preference as repeated exposure to a certain idea or concept correlates with a positive preference.
Media in India, experience newspaper media, are undergoing significant changes in the current
liberalized environment. Newspaper is a publication that appears regularly and frequently. It
carries news about a wide variety of current events. The newspaper publishes have an over all
control by its business and news operations.
“The press is the Guardian Angel of Democracy”. A forceful and prosperous press is the
guarantor of popular rights. . To most people “The press” means the daily newspaper, but
although re-eminent in influence daily newspapers is only a small part of the press & is usually
applied to the publications devoted mainly for recording current events and the term
“periodicals” to magazines, “reviews” to journals.
In reality the press is a private industry and a public service. No other force in public life
operates so persistently and extensively in its range of appeal. The scope of this subject of appeal
and matter as so does the press. Newspapers have a unique dimension of social responsibility,
which means the newspaper industry is different from every other industry. But business success
is vital to this industry as to any other.
According to the recorded facts the first newspaper of the world was published in China around
1000 years ago. It meant “News of the Capital”. The second newspaper of the world was the
“Acto Divra” which meant, “Daily happening” in Greek. There are the oldest two newspapers in
the pre-recorded history.
The first newspaper of the world was the “Morning Post” which was started in London in the
year 1772 followed by this another newspaper “The London Times” started in publications.
