Indian News Channels: Criminal and Media Law Implications for Warmongering

When news organizations indulge in warmongering, they are not only participating in sensationalism; they are also putting the peace of the general people in jeopardy and straining the bonds that strengthen international relations. There are a variety of safeguards that are included in Indian legislation in order to avoid incitement and foster responsible journalism. These safeguards include criminal fines for hate speech, statutory broadcasting requirements, self-regulatory codes, and judicial oversight. To maintain the right to freedom of expression while also restricting the misuse of media influence, it is vital to have vigilant regulation, ethical self-restraint on the side of broadcasters, and an informed audience that is prepared to reject irresponsible narratives. All of these things are equally important.
