The strength of investigative journalism relies entirely on protecting whistleblowers. The Supreme Court has recognized that privacy and press freedom are constitutional allies, noting that state surveillance creates a chilling effect on free speech.
The Bharat Media Association heavily emphasizes this principle. The legal right to protect the anonymity of sources gives the press the immense power to uncover highly classified corruption, ensuring that courageous insiders can safely leak evidence of state or corporate malfeasance without fear of state retaliation.
