💨 Abstract

Media bodies in India have demanded public consultations with journalists and stakeholders before setting up a media council, following a parliamentary panel's recommendation. The media bodies assert that the proposed council should include representatives from media, unions, and independent public persons. They claim there has been no consultation with journalists' unions on the matter, and they question the intent of the recommendation, stating it appears to be government regulation rather than self-regulation.
