Constitutional Power: Article 19 Shields the Press

0
391

The fundamental strength of the Indian press stems directly from Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and expression. Landmark judgments, from Romesh Thapar to modern rulings, consistently reaffirm that media freedom is not a privilege, but a fundamental democratic right.

The Bharat Media Association highlights that this constitutional backing is the ultimate armor. It legally prevents the state from silencing investigative journalism, ensuring the press retains the unyielding power to hold the government accountable without fear of arbitrary censorship.
