Abstract
India opened its doors to globalization in 1991 and the reference point of this change through globalization has been the United States of America (USA). The current study attempts to explore the relevance that globalization has brought to India through mapping the shift in pattern of mass media coverage of India by the foreign media and parallel marketing shifting patterns in investments made by foreign financial institutions in India, over the last two decades. A total number of 500 news of NYT were selected from a period of 1991- 2010 and top 25 news articles of each year were filtered through “relevance’ from the NYT website and downloaded. The findings indicate an exponential rise in the number of news items which NYT carried about India over this period. This indicates an existence of a relationship between positive news coverage by independent media and a rise in the amount of investments made by foreign institutions in India.
