Regulatory Frameworks and Their Effectiveness in Maintaining Ethics in Indian Electronic Media

Abstract Technological advancements and changing consumer preferences are driving a rapid shift in the Indian electronic media industry. The effectiveness of current regulatory frameworks in upholding ethical norms in this ever-changing environment is critically evaluated in this research report. It examines how well self-regulatory organisation’s function and how well they are able to handle new ethical dilemmas. The study also looks at the complications brought about by the growth of digital platforms, such as the spread of false information and the breakdown of conventional journalistic standards.
The delicate balance between the requirement for media responsibility and the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression is a major area of interest. The study examines how regulatory frameworks manage this conflict while taking political and commercial constraints on media content into account. The report illustrates the concrete effects of regulatory failures through comparative analysis, using case studies and global best practices.
In order to promote a more accountable and moral media landscape in India, this article concludes by making suggestions for improving the regulatory framework. It highlights the need for flexible laws that preserve fundamental journalistic principles while successfully addressing the difficulties of the digital age. In order to preserve public confidence and guarantee a media environment that serves the public interest, the significance of media literacy, openness, and strong independent monitoring is emphasised.
