Compared to the first edition of the report, which was published in 2011, the number of editions and printing centres of newspapers in the directory has gone up, so has the list of printing machines and other equipment used in these organisations.

The use of press technology has seen a full circle since the first edition of this directory. From single width printing presses to high speed, double-width printing machines, this edition suggests publishers are adopting to distributed printing using both single and double-width presses depending on the geographic and operational convenience. It just goes to prove the quick adoptability of Indian news publishers to the changing business environment and bodes well for the future of the industry in the region.
