India has a host of newspapers that give information about the happenings in India. Almost every newspaper has a dedicated section for advertising job requirements.

The newspapers in India classified into 'editions' on the basis of geographical divisions. Some of them are specific to cities and its happenings, some are focused on news and happenings of a particular state and then there are the national dailies, which carry news of national and international importance. So, while deciding on advertising a job requirement it is important to have complete details about the focus area of a newspaper and various special features of a Newspaper. (provided in the table). The cost involved varies with time and size but it is usually fixed and non-negotiable. The possibility of being charged extra unfairly is very low.
