The Indian government has been exploring ways to streamline media regulation across various platforms, including print, broadcast, and digital media. Recently, a parliamentary committee proposed the establishment of a unified Media Council to oversee and regulate all types of media under one comprehensive framework. This move aims to address the growing complexities in media regulation due to technological advancements and the convergence of media formats.
In recent years, the rapid growth of digital media platforms, social media, and streaming services has highlighted the need for more coherent and effective regulatory frameworks. Currently, media regulation in India is fragmented, with different bodies overseeing different media types. For example:
A unified Media Council could provide clearer guidelines, better enforcement, and independence in regulating content across all media formats.
The new Media Council is proposed to be developed from the existing Press Council of India, aiming to cover a wider range of media types. Its key functions might include:
While the council is intended to operate independently, the government plans to retain emergency powers to block content deemed threatening to national security or public order.
To enhance regulatory cohesion, there are plans to merge the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Department of Telecommunications. This restructuring aims to streamline policymaking and enforcement, particularly for digital content and OTT platforms.
The proposed Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill is expected to bring digital news platforms and streaming services under stricter regulatory oversight. This could introduce new content codes and formal complaint mechanisms specific to digital media. The government is weighing options to extend existing advertising and content guidelines from the Cable Television Networks Act to digital platforms.
Key Considerations for Digital Platforms:
A major concern with the proposed Media Council is its potential impact on freedom of expression. While regulation aims to ensure responsible content dissemination, there are worries about excessive government control. The balance between content regulation and free speech will be a focal point in public discourse.
Civil rights advocates have raised concerns that such regulations could lead to censorship and self-censorship among media professionals and content creators. In response, the government needs to ensure that any new regulations are balanced and open to stakeholder feedback to preserve media freedom.
The establishment of a unified Media Council marks a significant step towards integrating media regulation in India. As discussions continue, the challenge will be to balance effective regulation with the preservation of free speech and media independence. This evolving landscape is crucial for maintaining a vibrant and accountable media sector in the country.
