Katju wants media regulator with
punitive powers
‘Media
persons care two hoots for Press Council as it can only admonish’
Press Council of India chairman Markandey Katju on Wednesday
sought a statutory regulator with punitive powers, one that was “more
representative,” for the media.
Mr. Katju told journalists here on Wednesday that many media
persons “cared two hoots” for the Press Council of India (PCI), which only had
powers to admonish newspapers. He said many journalists did not even respond to
the notices issued by the PCI as they knew it had no punitive powers such as
suspending publication licences for newspapers, while the electronic media was
out of its ambit.
