PCI(Press Council of India)
- The Press Council of India was first set up in the year 1966 on the recommendations of the First Press Commission.
- In the discharge of its two-fold function of preserving the freedom of the press and maintaining and improving the standards of the press, the Council performs a multifaceted role. It acts on the one hand as a quasi-judicial authority with all powers of the civil court and on the other, in its advisory capacity; it guides the press as well as the authorities on any matter that may have a bearing on the freedom of the press and on its preservation.
- #Complaints:
- The complaints received by the Council broadly fall into two categories: complaints by the Press against interference with its freedom by an authority and complaints against the Press by any individual or authority for violation of the ethical canons of journalism.
- Any press person feeling aggrieved over a matter likely to impair or interfere with the independence of the Press may approach the Council.
- Similarly, anybody aggrieved by any publication or non-publication in any newspaper or journal or over the conduct of a journalist or an editor may lodge a complaint with the Council for breach of the recognized canons of journalistic ethics and public taste.
- The Council is empowered to make observations in respect of the conduct of any authority including government, if it so considers it necessary, for the performance of its functions under the Act.
- In respect of complaints against the press, if it finds that a newspaper or a news agency has offended against the standards of journalistic ethics or public taste or that an editor or a working journalist has committed any professional misconduct, it can warn, admonish or censure the newspaper, the news agency, the editor or the journalist or disapprove the conduct of editor or the journalist.
- Thus, the Council exerts high moral authority. Its decisions are final and cannot be questioned in any Court of Law.
- The decisions of the Council have generally been honoured and accepted by the media and the authorities alike.
- The day of its inception 16 November is commemorated as National Press Day
