The present study aimed to study the news sources of Gujarati dailies in different terms. In this study the news sources of Gujarati daily, their type, the quantity and type of news provided by them; Sourceless news, their availability, their scale and type; Major news sources and secondary news sources; Citing sources in the news; Sources such as access to regional, national and international news were included. Out of all the Gujarati dailies for the study, ‘Sandesh’, ‘Gujarat Samachar’ and ‘Divya Bhaskar' were selected as a sample of the three dailies. A total of 30 copies from the major editions of the three dailies, dated 1/1/10 to 10/1/10, were selected for the study. All the news published in those copies, ie a total of 2600 news stories, were analyzed. Here the sources were divided into four types. They included (1) journalists, (2) Indian news agencies, (3) international news agencies and (4) other news sources. While all the news was divided into a total of three types. These were: (1) news, (2) photo news and (3) sourceless news. Sourceless news included (1) sourceless news, (2) sourceless photo news and (3) sourceless graphnews. All the sources here and all the types of news they provide were analyzed and interpreted qualitatively and critically. The important findings obtained by this analysis were: (1) Journalists. It consisted of appointed journalists from all three dailies throughout the state. This resource is traditional and permanent. All the three daily, local and regional news of the state of Gujarat, were received by this source. (2) Indian news agencies. These included the ‘Press Trust of India' and the ‘United News of India.’ Through this source, all three newspapers received all kinds of national and international news. This source is traditional and permanent.(3) International news agencies. These included Britain's 'Reuters', US 'Associates Press' and 'United Press of International', France's 'Agency France Press' and Russia's 'Itar Tas'. This source is traditional and permanent. Through these agencies, all three dailies were receiving international news of all kinds.(4) Other news sources. These include ‘Press Note', ‘File News', ‘Daily NewsDesk', ‘Daily Group Interstate NewsNetwork', ‘Daily PhotoService', ‘File Photo', ‘Graph Service’, ‘Daily NewsNetwork’, ‘Daily Inter NewsExchange Agreement', Internet; Regional, national and international newspapers, magazines, radio and television channels, etc. Among these sources, PressNotes,File News, FilePhotos, Daily NewsDesks, Group DailyInterstate NewsNetworks, DailyPhotoService and Graph Service, are permanent and traditional sources. While Daily News Networks and DailyInternews Exchange contract sources are temporary. Their existence is not permanent. Their existence depended on the economic viability of the daily life, mutual relationships, ownership, time circumstances, necessity and so on. This source had very little contribution to the delivery of all types of news. Sandesh, Gujarat Samachar and Divya Bhaskar published a large number of news stories without sources. There was no greater distance to be reported than all types of news, including sources and non-sources. All three newspapers, access to all types of news without sources, regional, national and international newspapers, magazines, radio and television channels; News agencies; Internet based web portals, blogs, websites, and social media. In addition to the traditional sources in the news of Sandesh, Gujarat Samachar and Divya Bhaskar Daily, a new, non-traditional, information technology based news source was also added. That was the source of the Internet. There are many types of information and news based news portals, websites, blogs and social media operating on the Internet. It grows. He has covered all kinds of information in himself. The information here is available in all three forms - text, audio and visual. All three dailies publish newsworthy information in the form of news. The contribution of this news source to receiving the news for all three dailies was minimal. But given the speed with which it is developing, its contribution will surely increase in the coming days. This new news source is breaking the monopoly on mass media news.
