Direct the Indian Press to cover sexual offences sensitively


Direct the Indian Press to cover sexual offences sensitively
The Issue
Several sections of the media have been irresponsible and insensitive in their reporting of sexual offences in the recent past. In the interests of the victim and the interests of justice, we think the Press Council of India should restrain those sections of the media for flagrant violation of its rules and journalistic ethics.
