Answer:

Freedom of the press

Freedom of the press is the right to circulate opinions in print without censorship by the government or pressure from any individual or group. Freedom of the press is the freedom from external intimidation or coercion to publish or not to publish a thing. The printer or publisher exclusive control over what the publisher chooses to publish, including the right to refuse to print anything for any reason. A free press ensures that only genuine information are communicated to the general public. Real news is circulated, but biased or politically motivated.

The freedom of the press is incorporated in the right of freedom under the Fundamental Rights guaranteed under Article 12 to 35 contained in Part III of the Constitution. There are six fundamental rights in India. They are Right to Equality, Right to Freedom, Right against Exploitation, Right to Freedom of Religion, Cultural and Educational Rights, and Right to Constitutional Remedies.

Right to Freedom provides the rights of freedom of speech and the freedom of expression. Therefore the freedom of the press is a fundamental right and one of the human rights.

In recent years we have seen that the publishers of newspapers are forced with dire consequences to publish something even though it is not in the interest of the public in general and the publisher doesn't approve of it. One major negative thing of our newspapers, TV channels and electronic news media is that they are becoming more and more biased by supporting one particular political party and reporting news against the other parties. This is a disgrace to the true spirit of journalism. Such news media must not be allowed to function. It has the potential to create enmity between different groups. Such actions has the potential to destroy the fabrics of Democracy. The public can also play a major role by boycotting such biased newspapers and TV channels.
