Defending Independent Journalism Against Fake News

0
261

While combating misinformation is crucial, the Indian press is fiercely protecting its power against laws that broadly prohibit allegedly false news. The government frequently employs vaguely worded countermeasures that lead to sudden media bans and immediate arrests. However, constitutional courts have emphasized that free speech cannot be blindly sacrificed in the name of regulatory discipline.

Bharat Media Association stands strictly against the weaponization of misinformation laws, ensuring that the state does not gain unchecked power to arbitrarily silence legitimate, critical investigative journalism.
