Media, which is a way for communicating information from person to person, is a very important part of the modern society. The freedom of thought and expression, and the freedom of the press are not only valuable freedoms in themselves but are basic to a democratic form of Government which proceeds on the theory that problems of the Government can be solved by the free exchange of thought and by public discussion of the various issues facing the nation. Recognizing the importance of the dissemination of information and of the role of the press/media in the process, most countries including India, have accepted the freedom of speech and expression, which includes the freedom of the press/media as an important constitutional right. The freedom is guaranteed not only by the constitution of various countries but also by several international instruments, such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948, European Convention on Human Rights and fundamental freedoms, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights etc.
