Exploited Eyes: The Plight of Regional Camerapersons

0
244

The backbone of national news relies heavily on regional stringers and freelance camerapersons who operate with zero job security or medical insurance. When these field workers are assaulted by local mafias or injured in riots, they are often abandoned by the major networks that buy their footage. This severe financial exploitation forces injured camerapersons into massive medical debt.

Bharat Media Association exposes this dark reality of the media industry. We demand standardized contracts, mandatory hazard pay, and comprehensive medical insurance for all freelance visual journalists risking their lives on the ground.
