Self-censorship
Pressure from influential groups
Limited access to information
All of the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: All of the above.
- Self-censorship is when journalists choose not to report on certain stories or topics because they fear reprisal from the government or other powerful groups. This can be a result of direct threats or intimidation, or it can be more subtle, such as a feeling that certain stories are not worth the risk of reporting.
- Pressure from influential groups can also lead to self-censorship. For example, if a journalist reports on a story that is critical of a powerful company or politician, they may face threats or intimidation from that group. This can make them reluctant to report on similar stories in the future.
- Limited access to information can also make it difficult for journalists to do their job. If the government or other powerful groups restrict access to information, journalists may not be able to get the information they need to report on important stories. This can lead to a lack of transparency and accountability in government and other institutions.
All of these factors can contribute to a climate of fear and intimidation that makes it difficult for journalists to do their job. This can have a negative impact on the public’s right to know and on the quality of democracy in Arunachal Pradesh.
