Abstract | The Media is the Fourth limb of a democratic system, the legislature, executive and judiciary being the other three. While legislature makes the law for the society and the executive takes steps for implementing them, the third stepping-stone is the judiciary, which has to ensure legality of all actions and decisions. Media has to operate within the framework of these statutes and constitutional provision to act in public and national interest. This is indicative of the fact that nobody is above law. When the Constitution of India guaranteed freedom of expression and speech to its citizens, it ensured that the freedom was not absolute and any expression, by way of words, speech or visual medium, did not violate any statutory provisions enacted by legislature and executed by the executive. If the media, electronic or print, exceeded its jurisdiction, the courts came forward. The media cannot assume the power of the judiciary by deviating from objective and unbiased reporting. A media shackled by government rules harms democracy, but continuous unaccountability can lead to worse consequences. To prevent media trials from undermining civil rights, steps should be taken to provide the media with clearer understanding of their rights and duties, and give courts the authority to penalize those who violate them. |
