Government Threats to Investigative Journalism in India

Is the Modi government now trying to attack investigative journalism of India?

This story is very important for our democracy, so please watch till the end.

After the Indian Express investigation, the government seems to be so rattled that

they're now trying to implement a law which can end investigative journalism in

India forever. So a law is set to be implemented that

is said to protect users'

data and privacy, but at the same time is attacking the core values of

investigative journalism. Can you imagine that one of its

instruction is that the

person on whom the investigation is being conducted, he will be informed

beforehand by the news outlet? Secondly, the government will have right to access

all the paperwork and information that goes behind the investigation,

which means

that it can even endanger the person or the whistleblower who is providing this

information to the press. So the big question is that,

is the government trying to

choke the values of this democratic country, even when worldwide there is an

exemption to press from such laws?

And the most shocking part in all of this is that even news channels owned by

Ambani and Adani have challenged this law in the Supreme Court.
