| Media has become the puppet of the corporate and glamour world. Now a days specially indian media has nothing to do with the reality and the problems of the real india.
So it doesn't matter it gets the freedom or anything. |

| Attacks on reporters and journalists go on increasingly. A helpless stringer manhandled by the goondas for disclosing their involvement in landmining was the latest incident. Office of a big newpaper firm was attacked by a government owned goonda gang very recently. Tese all show that press has no safety from the antisocials. It is because the government is corrupt. It should go. The press alone can put a end to corrupt practices. The press alone can enlighten and encourage the public against these corrupt politicians. In Kerala the opposition party is inert. Newspapers like Malayala Manorama has brought the corrupt deeds of the Government . So, the newspapers have to grow to the level of Guardians of peace everywhere. The readers will protect them attacks. |

| Editors and journalists have given up their freedom at the altar of commercialism. These days it is easy to get anything published in the press, if you either have contacts or offer some bribes.
We sent a press release to highlight the fact that our son had received a scholarship to study at Harvard, as everyone thought it was a great achievement. None of the papers -- Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Tribune -- picked it up. But we are quite surprised to find these publishing profiles of students who simply go abroad for a visit, or people who may have topped in an examination in a small regional college.
We were told that we should paid a PR firm to get the news published, which shows how crass the journalists have become. We refused to pay.
It is a shame that a revered institution, which should keep tabs on the leader and society, have lost out to a few rupees. Is it a surprise that newspapers and magazines are reporting fall in circulation in the ABC survey? |

| To some extent we cn say that press is free. undre Article 19(1)A press has the rigth of free speach and expression and as the journalists in indian press cover whichever news they want, they conduct sting operations, and do other things to dig out the news. in order to be the top most in the media world everybody is trying to give the most sensational news and breaking news first, these r some of the tactics to gain readership among the masses. but making wrong use of the fundamental rights is a violation of laws, so in order to work with in the laws it is necessary to bind the press with some restrictions and this is given under Article 19 (2) of tne Indian Constitution, that is defamation, contempt of court, contempt of parliament. according to this press is bound and could not publish anything which could defame any person, any organisation or anybody. so according to me it is necessary to have some restrictions, and this is wat we call that press is not free but only to some extent... |

| No, it's not free! Our bureacracy has caught it in it;s paws for it's own benefits. The recent past news of Jagdish Tytlor's case and the journalist Jarnail Singh's statement, what does it show? The word freedom means to be free of boundations, to be liberated; is our press free of these two? No! |

| In a truly democratic nation, political candidates have equality of opportunity to present their ideas to the people. To this end, the news media has the obligation to bring all prospective candidates to the attention of the nation’s people. If the news media focuses attention only on those candidates that pay a high price for advertisement, then we cease to have a genuine democracy. In this case, we have a façade of democracy where the so called advertisers use available news media merely to make a mockery of democracy. So, if media do not observe ethics of profession and becomes very means of destroying the democracy rather freedom of media regulated. At least for a country such as India, media should not be given free hand. |

| Press is not free today. A lot of boundations imposed upon Press.
This is the time to think this matter on priority matter. We are weel
aware about the fact that this is the main piller of Democracy.
But to day this piller is crushing by Government Rules, Politicians and
Reporters/Editors themselves also. An honestly journalism can save
this danger only. In fact we can say that City Journalism is a power to fight for the freedom of Press. This is also advisablet to give proper space to the city journalist and identity to upward this movment. |

| It is not a wonder in the post liberalisation (1991) the press in India has become a voiceless spectators since they enjoy advertisements not alone from Industrial houses, but also from governments and ruling parties. Ample example is INC's ads for this election and its length.
Secondly, in depth reports vanished from the all sections of media because civil society itself not much cared about their destiny and short sighted about future. Certainly silent consumerist society is a culprit in the on going tussle between ethical Vs unethical groups.
How Satyam kept the secret of cooking of books for seven years without any disturbance? Isn't not a shame for the conscious society?
Unless there is mass upsurge or demand for neutral reports from the media which can be done through rejection of biased media and encouraging non partisan media groups, evolve Indian press cannot be FREE. |

|
| Yes, the Press definitely is free in India. Why would there be so many media houses existing to date if the press was actually being gagged? The problem with the Indian media industry is not freedom, but manipulation of truth! The very fact that literally every political party and business magnate in India have their own channel and publication stand testimony to the statement that gatekeeping is not the issue, but the need to self-promote is! People do raise voice against it, every now and then, but to what avail? The real question here is, Do we let ourselves to be led by the media or do we lead the media? |

It is not united its broken into fragments . It is a puppet in hands of police and politics they don't allow it a freedom because they fear themselves |

The press is supposed to be fair and unbiased. But now we the common people are loosing the press except some news papers who still maintain ethics. Look at the state of Andhra Pradesh. Sakshi is for congress. Enadu for TDP, Prajasakti for communists. vartha is dying because of lack of advertisements earlier it was for congress later swithed to TDP and now no where. Deccan chronical is a paper of advertisements and for congress. If the press is ment for political parties they must be banned. If any news that is given a false report must be punished. If they give correct report they must be awarded. The press should not be over enthusiastic. it must be realistic and give quick information to the public. regards raptors |

| Press in India is largely free but presently there are attempts by people who have vested interest to gag the media. Along with this, Management has also started to influence the editorial decisions. Gatekeeper managers now have more say in selection and display/ broadcasting of the news, which is not a good sign for the so called fourth pillar of democracy. More importantly there has been a decline in the standard and ethics followed by journalists. Today journalists are baught and there is an erosion of trust in them. Recently, in Loksabha elections in Lucknow, one condidate from a political party obliged several journalists from different media houses and distributed cash. His own newspaper crossed all limits and portrayed him as the winning candidate. This propaganda was so blatant and cheap that it backfired and now he must be cursing himself for what all he did in his disperation to reach Loksabha. So in my opinion, we journalists must ask ourselves how ethical and true saviour of democracy are we, instead of always shouting about the freedom! It is more urgent now to bring our house in order and bring back some descipline and ethics in the profession. |

| The history of press in India is filled with stories of struggle and sacrifice. Indian press, in the pre-independence era, had a mission to achieve freedom. Most of the major leaders of the freedom movement were journalists. They were for the mouthpieces of the masses and society.
But after 60 years of freedom, can it be said that media is really free to rise the voice of grass root people? According to the Constitution, we can say yes! We have the right to expression and media can use it for the people of India. But, practically media is not free to do so.
Freedom of expression forms an essential basis for democratic functioning of a society. In a democracy, every journalist has the right to express his or her views on public issues and their views need not necessarily support the views of dominant groups or influential personalities in power. Attacking an editor for expressing his views over a government’s decision is highly condemnable.
Press is regarded as the ‘watchdog’ of democracy. Unfortunately, there is scanty regard for its freedom in India, supposed to be the world’s largest democracy. The recent attack makes it evident that democracy in India has still not matured, even after five decades of independence.

| In India, the press commands reasonable freedom. Ofcourse, in many parts of the world the press is not free and face resentment from the ruling governments. The best examples are Pakistan and Sri Lanka where journalists were not allowed free hand to expose human rights violations. But in India press is not only free but is doing a commendable job. However, these days press is also becoming commercialized which is very much visible these days in their elections coverage and pre-poll coverages. Infact such coverages sometimes influence the readers' opinion. Though the influence is less than 5% but biased opinion is no opinion and sometimes 5% also becomes important in poll wins or losses. |

( not for their organisation) by widely covering big(?) events like kinder garton social & neglecting events of intellectual & social importance. |

| Whether there is freedom of the press or not, at least Citizen Journalists are doing a good job due to the op provided by merinews.com. the conceiver of this idea of merinews team needs to be congratulated for this noble endeavour.
One small problem is how to make our voices heard at the right place, since not everyone accesses merinews.com
I hope you will soon devise some methodology for that too.

| There is NOTHING in this world which can have freedom. If you freely express your opinions most probably it will hurt other people's sentiments which is infringing on other people's freedom. You cannot have freedom of expression and not be hurting other people's sentiments. So is the problem with PRESS and MEDIA. They can speak vulgarly about hinduism and hindu's in general and cannot speak with the same tone against muslims, christians and other minorities..
So the truth is press is NOT free. |

| Freedom of Press is a myth. A newspaper or a TV channel cannot be free. Purity is of no value. It does not work in real life. Press should play a role in forming public opinion. So the freedom of press is not possible. Newspaper houses take side. Otherwise , people will not read them. Bacon says that ornament cannot be made from pure gold. Impurity gives strength to pure gold. Similarly, newspapers with pure ideological principles cannot motivate people. Well, in that case the newspapers will become meaningless. People wont understanding anything. |

| Press in our country cannot be fully free as most of these are owned by this or that house. The newspaper houses have thier individual code of conduct. Some are more and some others are less biased. But biased are all of them. Only these days , citizen journalism is to some extent trying to be free and unbiased as most of the articles are published even if they are not fully in conformity with one particular viewpoint. The press is the called the fourth estate. Democratisation of the media is the urgent need of the hour. In the presentation of news too much of biasedness may misguide the people. Newspapers are to show what is happening. Journalists are not to mould the public opinion regarding politics. But they can form public opinion regarding social evils such as Ragging, smoking in public places, Corruption at high level, global warming.There are challenging tasks for the journalists. For example, they must write articles on issues which may sometime go even against the party in power. Today power corrupts , and absolute power has corrupted the party absolutely. The journalists free from any external influence should come forward to raise their loud voice against these parties and politicians. |

| Corruption exists if there is a close loop i.e. each and every individual is involved in the loop. Press is part of it. They are not doing social work out there. They are eqally interested in money and their TRPs. so whatever helps them to do so is the truth. It has been an established norm that worst news sell more than worse news and worse news generate more than bad news. so good news are out of the picture. |

| The media is not free as it does not do true reporting it seems to play to the gallery. At times it has to pander to the government's apathy and at times simply ignore the ground reality.
I remember visiting Kashmir, the land of my ancestors, and was deeply hurt that i was labelled an 'Indian', the outsider, now the hurt was for the passing of the buck by the press, this anti- Indian stance.This Indian bashing was not represented by our own press thus subverting the interests of the minority Kashiri hindu community, the brain washing and the promotion of radical and bigotic thinking abetted terrorism and coercion of larger interests of nationalism. |

According to me.....the Press have freedom only to some extend, as the news are censored or controled by some Political hands, but in other end Many journalists are strugling to unveil the truth. And we are forced to sail in wrong direction in this heavy Tempest. We are not geting proper justice too. Instead of that we are geting Just - Ice.. So we have to stop this influence of black politics in Press and it leads to Negative journalism. So at any cause we have to open the door for Positive journalism, with Truth & Justice in our way. Struggle and Unity as passion. And thru this passion we have to goahead for giving power to people. |

The last pages are kept for sports(cricket). There is only a small space some where we call it world news.We only read what media wants to sell or what makes the papers selling go up.There is no news which is motive less or which cover the whole truth.We only hear or read half news cause press never carries everything we only read that there was a blast. we never come to know after that what is happening.There is no single news paper or no writer who can provoke the readers to fight against the corruption.Am sorry to say that the profession that was mean to serve Humanity has now changed to business. |

| I may not be able to comment on the world scenarIo; but in India the Press is Free. they are let loose to that extend that they mould public opinion. The press decide what the people should know. Most of the Press is controlled by vested interest. They dictate terms. WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA are not aware of what is happening to them. Take any issue. The people does not get an opportunity to know what actually happened. The press mix up the information to suit the existance of vested interests.
I wish to quote example; but am scared to touch any well known issue. So I will take the example of Right to Information Act 2005 of India. Have you come acros any news that can make the
RTI Act effective. The press give coverage only to those information on RTI Act when any dignitory say its misuse. Please tell me as to how can an RTI Act can be misused. Has any newpaper or media has given any coverage to the atrocities and burial process of the RTI Act resorted too by the Information Commissions. Has any press published a word of the cries of the RTI Activists against the Commissions or their pendency state ?
In nutshelL the press is too freE in India that it has enslaved WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA. The requirement of to-day is toliberate WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA from the clutches of the Press. |

| The press in India has always been partisan, and this time politicians have specially started the news papers and channels to belittle their opposition and show their side with all the hype. In Andhra Pradesh Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy's son Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is also a Congress party contestant fron Cuddapah, has started 'Saakshi' a Telugu daily and 'Saakshi TV, a local news channel to counter the famous telugu daily 'Enaadu' and news channel 'ETV2'. Mr. Ramoji Rao, the owner of "Enaadu' and 'ETV2' is favourable to TDP. So how free is our press? and How can it be if the politicians theselves are going to establish them? Freedom of press is a funny word today. |
