Foreign newspapers eager to set up shop in India (Daily Times, Pakistan)

International newspapers like the International Herald Tribune and the Wall Street Journal are eager to have Indian editions but the government is cautious. The government has taken the publishers of the IHT to court for printing the Indian edition without permission. The publishers counter that they do not need permission because a 2002 law allows 26% FDI in the newspaper business.

An earlier entry, Media giants love the new FDI rules, covered this topic.

However, that was before the elections and the news government may not be keen to honour the relaxed rules of the previous government.
