- (b)  to  (d) In  so  far  as  Print  Media  is  concerned,  Press  Council  of  India  (PCI),  a  statutory autonomous body was set up under the Press Council Act, 1978 to maintain and improve the standards of newspapers and news agencies in India and also to inculcate principles of self-regulation among the press.  PCI, in furtherance of its objective under Section 13(2) of the Act has formulated 'Norms of Journalistic Conduct' for adherence by the print media.  These norms cover general principles and ethics of journalism.  The complaints received by PCI against contents in the print media are adjudicated  by  the  Council  as  per  provisions  contained  in  the  Press  Council (Procedure for Inquiry) Regulations, 1979.   The complaints against any content in print media which are violative of the ethical norms of journalism, public taste or professional  conduct  are  adjudicated  by  the  Council  in  exercise  of  its  powers

provided under section 14 of the Act.  As per section 14 of the Act, the Council, after holding an inquiry, may warn, admonish or censure the newspaper, the news agency, the editor or the journalist or disapprove the conduct of the editor or the journalist as the case may be.

No time limit has been prescribed for the disposal of complaints in the Press Council Act, 1978 or rules/regulations framed thereunder.

In so far as Electronic Media is concerned, the content telecast on private satellite TV channels is  regulated  as  per  provisions  of  the  Programme  and  Advertising  Codes prescribed under the Cable Television Network Rules, 1994 enshrined in the Cable Television Network (Regulation) Act, 1995. These codes contain a whole range of parameters to regulate programmes and advertisements on TV channels including unsubstantiated reporting. Rule 6(1) (d) of the Programme Code provides that no programme should be transmitted/re-transmitted on any cable service, which contains anything obscene, defamatory, deliberate, false and suggestive innuendos and half truths. Rule 7(10) of the Advertising Code mentions that any advertisement should be clearly distinguished from programme.    Government has set up Electronic Media Monitoring  Centre  (EMMC)  to  review  the  content  of  private  TV  channels  with reference to the violation of Programme and Advertising Codes.  This was set up in 2010.  An Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) has also been set up in the Ministry to look into the specific complaints or suo-motu take cognizance against the violation of  Programme  and  Advertising  Codes.    Appropriate  action  is  taken  as  per  Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, if any violation of the said codes is established.

As  part  of  self-regulation,  Indian  Broadcasting  Foundation  (IBF),  which  is  a representative  body  of  non-news  &  current  affairs  TV  channels,  has  set  up Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) headed by Sh. Mukul Mudgal, Retd.  Judge  of  Hon'ble  High  Court  to  examine  the  complaints  about  television programmes.  News Broadcasters Association (NBA) - a representative body of news and current  affairs  channels  -  has  set  up  News  Broadcasting  Standards  Authority (NBSA) to consider complaints against or in respect of broadcasters in so far as these relate to the content of any broadcast. In regard to regulation of advertisements on

TV channels, Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI), a self-regulatory body of Advertisers and Advertising Agencies has set up Consumer Complaints Council (CCC) to look into complaints against advertisements. There  is  no  proposal  under  consideration  of  this  Ministry  for  an  independent broadcasting media authority/separate mechanism in the country in this regard, as adequate provisions in the form of various Acts / Rules / Regulations/ Guidelines already exist with regard to print and electronic Media.

To control the menace of the 'Paid News', the Election Commission of India (ECI) had recommended adding 'Paid News' in category of corrupt practices or electoral offences. The Commission had recommended that the provision should be made in the  Representation  of  the  People  Act,  1951  to  include  publishing  and  abetting  of publishing of 'Paid News' for furthering the prospects of election of any candidate as an  electoral  offence  under  Chapter  III  of  Part  VII  of  the  R.P.  Act,  1951  with exemplary punishment of a minimum of two years imprisonment.
