Broadcast Bill: Content Code

Ministry of Information and Broadcasting MIB

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The Ministry expects that putting such a code in place will have the following important positive impact, among others. • The public will be provided with a mechanism through which they can voice their grievances and obtain redressal regarding programme and advertisement content. • It will place greater responsibility on broadcasters and advertisers. They will be obliged to conduct regular research on public sensitivity to reduce the likelihood of individual complaints. • It will give broadcasters the right to reply before a Body independent of the government before any channel can be banned or proceeded against.
