Abstract The study was largely conducted content analysis of websites covering the widely claimed most popular online newspapers; Times of India (TOI), Hindustan Times (HT) and The Hindu (TH).Very few research studies have been conducted on textual analysis of news content of Indian newspapers. The study was borrowed from amplification effect of media of (Watson, 1998) that says “by giving intensive coverage to certain stories and issues, their importance is amplified”.The objectives determined for the study were interpreted and analyzed with Antconc statistical tools to get accurate answers. It is discovered that content of the story published by the different newspapers unambiguously reflect or at least indicate their agenda and perception. This study finds this quality in line with general understanding of press being the responsible body of society and also the fourth pillar of democracy. This study examines the effective agenda setting role of the Indian online newspapers, keeping in background the emotions of their readers. In a bid to develop empirical result, while scrutinizing the news stories, it focuses on the classification of different categories of news in terms of political, social ,economic etc polarity. This is primarily to explore and establish the connection between content and rnewspapers. In order to identify and substantiate the study, a total of 8,640 news stories spanning over a decade from 2006 to 2016 were evaluated. Considering the huge quantum of data, it was realized that automatic system must be resorted to put them in orderly fashion. Lastly, we elaborate on the different approaches for the machine treatment of subjective communication (opinion mining) and present our findings while bringing out their implications.
