Mass Media and Laws in India

The Mass Media scenario of India after liberalization, is changing at a very fast pace. Erosion of the morals also has added many new dimensions to the media arena. This change has aroused global interests. Constraints on mass media of which laws, regulations and court cases are inseparable part are also changing. Traditional issues like sedition, obscenity have lost their positions yielding places to defamation, contempt of courts, parliamentary privileges, etc. This book deals with the history of Mass Media, particularly the Indian Mass Media history through the post-liberalization period, up to the recent times, in brief. Most importantly the salient features of twenty prominent laws, regulations and acts of India with relevant court cases and their judicial decisions in a short and succinct manner, have also been included.
