India, officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.
Index of Freedom in the World (Freedom Index, Worldwide Index of Human Freedom) is an index of civil liberties published by Canada's Fraser Institute, Germany's Liberales Institut, and the U.S. Cato Institute in late 2012.
The index is based on measures of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, individual economic choice, freedom of association, freedom of assembly, violence and crimes, freedom of movement, LGBT rights and women's rights. Other components of the Freedom Index include human trafficking, sexual violence, female genital mutilation, homicide, freedom of movement, and adoption by homosexuals.
The index rates countries on a scale from 10 (most free) to 0 (least free). In 2012 the most free countries were New Zealand (8.73), the Netherlands (8.47), and Hong Kong (8.39). Least free were Zimbabwe (3.38), Burma (3.72), and Pakistan (4.47). The components on which the index is based can be divided into economic freedoms and other personal freedoms. Highest ranking in economic freedoms were Hong Kong (9.02) and Singapore (8.75). Highest ranking in personal freedoms were the Netherlands (9.5) and Uruguay (9.4).
The Press Freedom Index is an annual ranking of countries compiled and published by Reporters Without Borders based upon the organization's assessment of the countries' press freedom records in the previous year. It reflects the degree of freedom that journalists, news organizations, and netizens enjoy in each country, and the efforts made by the authorities to respect and ensure respect for this freedom. Reporters Without Borders is careful to note that the index only deals with press freedom and does not measure the quality of journalism nor does it look at human rights violations in general.
The report is based partly on a questionnaire sent to partner organizations of Reporters Without Borders (18 freedom of expression non-governmental organizations located in all five continents) and its 150 correspondents around the world, as well as to journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists. The questionnaire asks questions about pluralism, media independence, environment and self-censorship, legislative framework, transparency, and infrastructure. The questionnaire takes account of the legal framework for the media (including penalties for press offences, the existence of a state monopoly for certain kinds of media and how the media are regulated) and the level of independence of the public media. It also reflects violations of the free flow of information on the Internet. Violence against journalists, netizens, and media assistants, including abuses attributable to the state, armed militias, clandestine organizations, and pressure groups, are monitored by RSF staff during the year and are also part of the final score. A smaller score corresponds to greater freedom of the press.

Today, Craig is going to finish up our discussion of the First Amendment with freedom of the press. Like an individual's right to free speech, the press has a right, and arguably responsibility, to tell the public what the government is doing. But of course there are some complications in doing so, like if that information will compromise national security or wrongfully discredit an individual. When considering Edward Snowden's NSA disclosures or Julian Assange's Wikileaks, it's just as important as ever to understand the role of the press in informing the public as well as our role as citizens in staying informed.

India's premier investigative agency recently raided the homes and offices of Dr. Prannoy Roy and his wife Radhika Roy, the founders and promoters of NDTV Group, which includes one of India's oldest private English news channels which has been critical of the current government.

Global Journalist: India's press freedom problems India ranks abysmally low at 133 among 180 countries in the latest annual World Press Freedom Index, which says Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems “indifferent” to the threats against journalists. The 2016 ‘World Press Freedom Index’ released by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is led by Finland, which retained its top spot for the sixth consecutive year, followed by Netherlands and Norway. India jumped three spots from the 136th position it had in 2015. “Journalists and bloggers are attacked and anathematised by various religious groups that are quick to take offense,” the report said. At the same time, it is hard for journalists to cover regions such as Kashmir that are regarded as sensitive by the government, it said. “Prime Ministe...

We are living in a time when sensationalism has taken over journalism; when hysteria and sycophancy are peddled in the name of journalism. From being the fourth pillar of democracy, a large section of the national media has transformed into “fourth pillar of the establishment”. From being the voice of the voiceless, we are witnessing its transformation into a mouth piece of the ruling elite. And in a strange reversal of roles, the supine media wants to hold the opposition responsible for the failures of the government! The so-called journalists do not tire of singing praises of those in power, making the main stream media their veritable propaganda arm. As soon as you start taking favours from the government and praising it instead of holding it to account for its failures, you cease to ...
India ranks 133rd out of 180 countries listed in the World Press Freedom Index 2016, released by NGO Reporters Without Borders. India jumped three places compared with last year's ranking. Published annually, the rankings are based on freedom allowed to journalists in countries around the world. Noting that it is hard for journalists in India to cover regions such as Kashmir that are regarded as sensitive by the government, Reporters Without Borders criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being indifferent to the "threats and problems" faced by media personnel and bloggers in the country, who are are "attacked and anathematised by various religious groups that are quick to take offence". "Instead, in a desire to increase control of media coverage, Modi envisages opening a journalism ...

The foundation of any democratic state is based on the freedom and independence of press from bureaucratic control and private interests of individuals or corporations. The reason behind the formation and institutionalization of media has been to serve as a watch dog for democracy and the rights of the citizens of a country. Newspapers played an important role in the freedom struggle of India, helping freedom fighters to disseminate nationalist ideals. Later radio and television have been providing their audiences with the necessary information about community development as well as acting as sources of mass information. The phenomenal growth of the Indian media industry in the last decade continues to generate debates and talking points about national and international issues.

After months of not being paid, a group of Argentinian journalists form a cooperative to take over their newspaper, Tiempo Argentino. One year later, as a wave of anti-government protests erupt across the country, the cooperative struggles to keep their newspaper afloat.

They decide to investigate a real estate scheme involving President Macri and the country's most popular football club, Boca Juniors. Under the first right-wing government elected in Argentina for more than a decade, can a newspaper survive its first year run by a cooperative of journalists?

This has not been without consequence: the refusal to take down an obscene video led to an eye-popping $140 million jury verdict and the subsequent collapse of Gawker Media.

Turks cast their votes for the second time this year after elections in June saw AK party lose their parliamentary majority. Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country's media is the freest in the world.
