| Abstract: | The rapid growth of mobile-first journalism in India has transformed how news is produced, circulated, and consumed. Alongside this shift, algorithmic systems embedded within digital platforms increasingly shape editorial visibility and audience reach. While existing scholarship has examined mobile journalism and artificial intelligence separately, limited attention has been paid to how algorithms function as gatekeepers in mobile-first news environments, particularly in the Global South. This paper conceptualises algorithmic gatekeeping as a socio-technical process that restructures news production in the Indian digital media ecosystem. Drawing on gatekeeping theory, field theory, and Indian scholarship on digital journalism, the study argues that algorithms, platforms, journalists, and audiences operate as co-gatekeepers in mobile-first journalism. Through qualitative theoretical synthesis of existing literature, the paper identifies new forms of journalistic power and capital that redefine editorial authority and professional autonomy. The study contributes to journalism theory by extending gatekeeping frameworks to account for algorithmic influence in mobile-centric media systems. |
