Abstract

This paper makes an attempt to provide a glimpse of the evolution of media over the years in response to the changing warrant of times. Then it discusses the scope of media literacy and the importance and characteristics of media and media bias. An attempt is then made to discuss the advent of mass media in Bhutan and their role in the emerging political scenario. The paper concludes by suggesting the need for a more enlightened responsibility for the Bhutanese media.
