Answer:

specific rights related to the application of media freedom

Freedom of expression gives special rights and duties to the media. The media inform society on matters of public interest and create an important platform for public debate, scrutiny and reflection. Therefore, independent media and quality journalism are considered to be the “watchdog” of a democratic society.  

The freedom of press means freedom from interference from authority which would have the effect of interference with the content & circulation of newspapers.  The Article 19(1) (a) of the Constitution is subject to certain restrictions laid down in Article 19(2) of the Constitution.

REASON for such rights :-

Instances of torture, discrimination, corruption or misuse of power many times have come to light because of the work of investigative journalists. Making the facts known to the public is often the first, essential step to start redressing human rights violations and hold governments accountable. But  if their are various restrictions imposed on media , there will be no free flow of information in public . Thus , giving some rights to Media is essential to overcome this barrier to media .

The right to freedom of opinion and expression is related to the application of media freedom.

The broad right itself stated that a person is free to express his thoughts in any way or using any medium he wishes to use.

He may even convey his thoughts in writing or through a video or audio medium.

There is absolutely no law which can confront a person on his right to express, given that his views should not harm the interest of other citizens.
