ABSTRACT:

Free press is a sine qua non to a democracy. By allowing people to express their ideas in favour of or against the activities of the government, it supports independent media and promotes egalitarianism. The right to free expression is protected by the constitution as well as other international agreements, but is it truly enforced in its full ambit or neglected upon by the state for convenience?This article examines press freedom as the coeval concern today in India, taking into account both print and electronic media. The free press is crucial to democracy, effective government, and synchronously for human development both inherently and strategically. The unrestrained ability to communicate one’s thoughts and opinions is crucial to the growth of any civilization. It is one of the most fundamental components of a successful and  fair citizenship universally.

KEYWORDS: Free press, Democracy, Digital era, Egalitarianism for journalists.
