Abstract
The World Health Organization WHO has already declared the corona virus outbreak as global pandemic of international concern and to curb the scourge of the disease 2019 nCoV acute respiratory disease, Government of India has already declared national lockdown 1 for 21 days on 24th March, 2020. Meanwhile, Indian newspapers have already boosted up with this coverage and have shown the proliferated enhancement of space share of science news. 4 major circulated English newspapers were selected from 4 metropolitan cities and space share along with total no of science news were analyzed. 4 metro cities are Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai and 4 selected sample newspapers are The Hindustan Times for Delhi, The Telegraph for Kolkata, The Hindu for Chennai and The Times of India for Mumbai. It has been found that, space share of science news has already raised to 64 percent and is still increasing which again has shown the way that, India needs more science journalists and science news should not be dominated in future.
