&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Union minister for information and broadcasting has announced the possibility of such a framework arguing that the present regulations on online content are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; In at attempt to regulate online content &amp;ndash; particularly news and opinion &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; the Modi government is working on a &amp;ldquo;code of conduct&amp;rdquo; and perhaps draft legislation too that it will be &amp;ldquo;incumbent upon [media] agencies&amp;rdquo; to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stating that present regulations governing digital media are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and &amp;ldquo;is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders&amp;rdquo; on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s controversial relationship with the media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking at the News18 &amp;lsquo;Rising India Summit&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Irani gave no details of the planned code of conduct, though she did complain about the capacity of fake news to defame and demean, and the tendency of &amp;ldquo;certain journalists and media personalities&amp;rdquo; to cross the &amp;ldquo;very fine line&amp;rdquo; between news and views&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, she did acknowledge that regulating digital and social media required a &amp;ldquo;balance and a very delicate one&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Irani&amp;rsquo;s remarks were made in response to a question about the possibility of the government intervening to curb hate speech on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TV18 political editor Marya Shakil noted that there is a &amp;ldquo;a lot of hate, abuse&amp;rdquo; on social media and asked the minister if she thought the &amp;ldquo;government can in any way intervene without really crossing its brief&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;rsquo;s a balance and a very delicate one,&amp;rdquo; Irani replied, adding that while television, radio and newspapers had to adhere to a code, &amp;ldquo;online is an ecosystem where legislation in terms of news, legislation in terms of broadcast content material, is not very clear. That is something that the ministry is currently undertaking, and in conversations with stakeholders.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Union minister for information and broadcasting has announced the possibility of such a framework arguing that the present regulations on online content are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; In at attempt to regulate online content &amp;ndash; particularly news and opinion &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; the Modi government is working on a &amp;ldquo;code of conduct&amp;rdquo; and perhaps draft legislation too that it will be &amp;ldquo;incumbent upon [media] agencies&amp;rdquo; to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stating that present regulations governing digital media are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and &amp;ldquo;is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders&amp;rdquo; on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s controversial relationship with the media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking at the News18 &amp;lsquo;Rising India Summit&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Irani gave no details of the planned code of conduct, though she did complain about the capacity of fake news to defame and demean, and the tendency of &amp;ldquo;certain journalists and media personalities&amp;rdquo; to cross the &amp;ldquo;very fine line&amp;rdquo; between news and views&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, she did acknowledge that regulating digital and social media required a &amp;ldquo;balance and a very delicate one&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Irani&amp;rsquo;s remarks were made in response to a question about the possibility of the government intervening to curb hate speech on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TV18 political editor Marya Shakil noted that there is a &amp;ldquo;a lot of hate, abuse&amp;rdquo; on social media and asked the minister if she thought the &amp;ldquo;government can in any way intervene without really crossing its brief&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;rsquo;s a balance and a very delicate one,&amp;rdquo; Irani replied, adding that while television, radio and newspapers had to adhere to a code, &amp;ldquo;online is an ecosystem where legislation in terms of news, legislation in terms of broadcast content material, is not very clear.

&lt;em&gt;Union minister for information and broadcasting has announced the possibility of such a framework arguing that the present regulations on online content are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; In at attempt to regulate online content &amp;ndash; particularly news and opinion &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; the Modi government is working on a &amp;ldquo;code of conduct&amp;rdquo; and perhaps draft legislation too that it will be &amp;ldquo;incumbent upon [media] agencies&amp;rdquo; to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stating that present regulations governing digital media are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and &amp;ldquo;is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders&amp;rdquo; on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;

While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s controversial relationship with the media.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Union minister for information and broadcasting has announced the possibility of such a framework arguing that the present regulations on online content are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; In at attempt to regulate online content &amp;ndash; particularly news and opinion &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; the Modi government is working on a &amp;ldquo;code of conduct&amp;rdquo; and perhaps draft legislation too that it will be &amp;ldquo;incumbent upon [media] agencies&amp;rdquo; to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stating that present regulations governing digital media are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and &amp;ldquo;is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders&amp;rdquo; on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s controversial relationship with the media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking at the News18 &amp;lsquo;Rising India Summit&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Irani gave no details of the planned code of conduct, though she did complain about the capacity of fake news to defame and demean, and the tendency of &amp;ldquo;certain journalists and media personalities&amp;rdquo; to cross the &amp;ldquo;very fine line&amp;rdquo; between news and views&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, she did acknowledge that regulating digital and social media required a &amp;ldquo;balance and a very delicate one&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Irani&amp;rsquo;s remarks were made in response to a question about the possibility of the government intervening to curb hate speech on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TV18 political editor Marya Shakil noted that there is a &amp;ldquo;a lot of hate, abuse&amp;rdquo; on social media and asked the minister if she thought the &amp;ldquo;government can in any way intervene without really crossing its brief&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;rsquo;s a balance and a very delicate one,&amp;rdquo; Irani replied, adding that while television, radio and newspapers had to adhere to a code, &amp;ldquo;online is an ecosystem where legislation in terms of news, legislation in terms of broadcast content material, is not very clear. That is something that the ministry is currently undertaking, and in conversations with stakeholders.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Union minister for information and broadcasting has announced the possibility of such a framework arguing that the present regulations on online content are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; In at attempt to regulate online content &amp;ndash; particularly news and opinion &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; the Modi government is working on a &amp;ldquo;code of conduct&amp;rdquo; and perhaps draft legislation too that it will be &amp;ldquo;incumbent upon [media] agencies&amp;rdquo; to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stating that present regulations governing digital media are &amp;ldquo;not clear&amp;rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and &amp;ldquo;is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders&amp;rdquo; on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s controversial relationship with the media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking at the News18 &amp;lsquo;Rising India Summit&amp;rsquo; in New Delhi, Irani gave no details of the planned code of conduct, though she did complain about the capacity of fake news to defame and demean, and the tendency of &amp;ldquo;certain journalists and media personalities&amp;rdquo; to cross the &amp;ldquo;very fine line&amp;rdquo; between news and views&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, she did acknowledge that regulating digital and social media required a &amp;ldquo;balance and a very delicate one&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Irani&amp;rsquo;s remarks were made in response to a question about the possibility of the government intervening to curb hate speech on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TV18 political editor Marya Shakil noted that there is a &amp;ldquo;a lot of hate, abuse&amp;rdquo; on social media and asked the minister if she thought the &amp;ldquo;government can in any way intervene without really crossing its brief&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;rsquo;s a balance and a very delicate one,&amp;rdquo; Irani replied, adding that while television, radio and newspapers had to adhere to a code, &amp;ldquo;online is an ecosystem where legislation in terms of news, legislation in terms of broadcast content material, is not very clear. That is something that the ministry is currently undertaking, and in conversations with stakeholders.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

Stating that present regulations governing digital media are &ldquo;not clear&rdquo; with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and &ldquo;is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders&rdquo; on the issue.<br />
<br />
While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government&rsquo;s controversial relationship with the media.<br />
<br />
Speaking at the News18 &lsquo;Rising India Summit&rsquo; in New Delhi, Irani gave no details of the planned code of conduct, though she did complain about the capacity of fake news to defame and demean, and the tendency of &ldquo;certain journalists and media personalities&rdquo; to cross the &ldquo;very fine line&rdquo; between news and views&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
At the same time, she did acknowledge that regulating digital and social media required a &ldquo;balance and a very delicate one&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
Irani&rsquo;s remarks were made in response to a question about the possibility of the government intervening to curb hate speech on social media.<br />
<br />
TV18 political editor Marya Shakil noted that there is a &ldquo;a lot of hate, abuse&rdquo; on social media and asked the minister if she thought the &ldquo;government can in any way intervene without really crossing its brief&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s a balance and a very delicate one,&rdquo; Irani replied, adding that while television, radio and newspapers had to adhere to a code, &ldquo;online is an ecosystem where legislation in terms of news, legislation in terms of broadcast content material, is not very clear. That is something that the ministry is currently undertaking, and in conversations with stakeholders.&rdquo;<br />

Smriti Irani Reveals Modi Government Plan to Monitor, Regulate Online News

-TheWire.in Union minister for information and broadcasting has announced the possibility of such a framework arguing that the present regulations on online content are “not clear” with regard to news and broadcast content material. New Delhi: In at attempt to regulate online content – particularly news and opinion –  the Modi government is working on a “code of conduct” and perhaps draft legislation too that it will be “incumbent upon [media] agencies” to follow. Stating that present regulations governing digital media are “not clear” with regard to news and broadcast content material, Smriti Zubin Irani, Union minister for information and broadcasting, said on March 17 that her ministry is working on legislation and “is already in talks with the concerned stakeholders” on the issue. While the contours of what the government is proposing are not known, the proposal to regulate online news is likely to open a new front in the Modi government’s controversial relationship with the media. Speaking at the News18 ‘Rising India Summit’ in New Delhi, Irani gave no details of the planned code of conduct, though she did complain about the capacity of fake news to defame and demean, and the tendency of “certain journalists and media personalities” to cross the “very fine line” between news and views”. At the same time, she did acknowledge that regulating digital and social media required a “balance and a very delicate one”. Irani’s remarks were made in response to a question about the possibility of the government intervening to curb hate speech on social media. TV18 political editor Marya Shakil noted that there is a “a lot of hate, abuse” on social media and asked the minister if she thought the “government can in any way intervene without really crossing its brief”. “I think it’s a balance and a very delicate one,” Irani replied, adding that while television, radio and newspapers had to adhere to a code, “online is an ecosystem where legislation in terms of news, legislation in terms of broadcast content material, is not very clear. That is something that the ministry is currently undertaking, and in conversations with stakeholders.” Please click here to read more.
