This paper offers a systematic review of the literature on the theoretical and empirical studies of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and organisational performance in mass media organisations, focusing on the media markets of India's regions. The review synthesises the literature across 113 references and across four theories  the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) framework, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Resource-Based View/Dynamic Capabilities theory  to situate the state of research, identify the most consistent empirical findings, and outline five key research gaps that inform the core research in the parent doctoral thesis. The review shows that while ICT adoption in mass media organisations is well researched in metropolitan and developed nation settings but the dynamics of ICT adoption and performance in the non-metropolitan, resource-compromised, Indian regional media remains an under-researched topic. Five major gaps are identified and examined: (i) the missing evidence from the Tier-2 cities; (ii) absence of multi-stakeholder integrated designs; (iii) unquantified ICT skills gap between academia and industry; (iv) under-theorised speed-depth paradox in regional newsrooms; (v) unexplored ethical and credibility issues of ICT in regional Indian media. Finally, the article suggests theory, research and practice implications for the field of media and journalism management and digital journalism.
