With the passage of time, journalism has diversified multi fold. Media that came into existence to do the basic job of disseminating information to the society is now playing a domineering role in the development of the social order amid new-fangled challenges. In the 21st century, media has turned into the most important tool in spreading the knowledge to the masses about politics, education, development, reforms and about the role of stakeholders in difficult situations. Media now is the strongest and quickest source of information, bringing-in instant news into the drawing rooms, offices, streets and even to the mobile phones. With this fast lane travelling of news, society harbours huge expectations from the media. However, with the infrastructure leapfrogging and advanced technology, the relationship between the viewer/reader and the journalist has been distorted to some extent. The viewer now wants instant results and expects media to play an executive as well as a policing role. Media groups grapple with conflicting priorities of journalistic probity verses commercial interests in their day-to-day functioning. The mushrooming of 24X7 news channels has further complicated the realm of media ethics. Undoubtedly, owing to both external and internal factors, media is not living up to its expectations and has much diverted from its original purpose i.e. being the disseminator of information. In addition, the competition within the print, the television and the internet media has raised new array of problems that need to be dealt with urgently. Media persons covering conflict or violence at ground zero are worst affected by the current problems engulfing media. The number of media causalities in present scenario has been reported to be a much bigger number than the number during World War II according to the worried media welfare agencies. In some conflict- ridden places, it has become difficult for the media persons to reach on the spot and cover the story. Here again the issue is what protection media gets so that it can report back fearlessly and truthfully from such places. In view of these new developments, the ICRC in association with partners conducted the second senior editors conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh to look at the issues of media protection, its obligations and the new challenges it’s facing. Senior editors from reputable print and electronic media groups from eight South Asian countries debated on the role of the media in reporting of the conflict and the protection they require while reporting. 7 Editor’s Seminar The proceedings of the two-day conference that had four sessions have been documented in this report so as to assess the views of the editors and thus enlighten readers including media persons about the issues discussed at the conference. This document also aims to spread the knowledge of the challenges faced by the media to the new generation in the media so that they can learn from the experience of their seniors. Those who are planning to go to the conflict areas for the coverage should know what is the role and responsibilities of the media and what constrains are there in the field, and how to cope with them. Lastly, the report also deals with how important it is for the media persons to know about the Geneva conventions, the international humanitarian law, the human rights law, the customary law and the media protection laws. The panel discussion has been able to give some of the answers. If you need any further information or books on the above-mentioned laws, feel free to contact ICRC documentation centre in New Delhi or visit the website: www.icrc.org. It has all the relevant documents. Hopefully this work will trigger further intellectual debate and studies on the issue in focus thereby throwing up some practical measures to tackle better the problems faced by the media when covering armed conflict.

  • PRESS STATEMENT Arrests, Beatings and Dismissals Of
    PRESS STATEMENT Arrests, Beatings and Dismissals of Journalists Underline Official and Corporate Arbitrariness: SAMDEN New Delhi, May 26, 2020 – The South Asia Media Defenders Network (SAMDEN) today cited detention of media professionals in Bangladesh, attacks on journalists in the Punjab, and the dismissal of a pregnant reporter in Assam state as part of a pattern of official and corporate arbitrariness against media in the region. In Bangladesh, SAMDEN noted that the government of Sheikh Hasina Wajed has used the controversial Digital Security Act (DSA), passed in 2018 amid opposition from national, international media and rights groups, to arrest or charge at least 20 journalists over the past month. In one case, a senior journalist vanished in March after a politician from the governing Awami League party filed a criminal defamation case against him. The reporter mysteriously turned up at the India-Bangladesh border nearly two months later and was slapped with three cases under the DSA while senior editor, Matiur Rahman Choudhury of Manabzamin also is accused in the case. SAMDEN underlining the spate of cases against journalists and media professionals, regards this as a clear and present danger to freedom of the media there and calls on the Sheikh Hasina government to free the arrested journalists, respect media rights and freedom and urges media associations worldwide to come out in support of the beleaguered media. “During a pandemic, a jail is the last place for a person to be, especially media professionals who are most needed at this time to provide factual, independent critical information to the public and to government as well as fearless reporting,” the Network said in a statement.

    1 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 DC-GS/5.00/3O (MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN in the Chair) SHRI DEREK O’BRIEN (CONTD.): We are asking for withdrawal of deposit limits. Sir, yesterday, the Finance Minister made a speech. We did not come from our party to listen to his speech, nor did we come the previous day because we believe and our point was that for demonetization, Parliament was ignored and that was our way of stating over the last two days that you people don’t need Parliament because you have a one-man band. To quot from the Finance Minister’s speech--and I am going back to Para 55 of the President’s speech--the Finance Minister said, ‘a trusted custodian of public money.’ That is the Government’s role. I ask, Sir, are you the only trusted custodian of the public money because you are not allowing the public to withdraw their private money for which they pay tax? So we appeal and urge upon this Government to please stay away from platitudes. From tomorrow or Monday, please stop all the restrictions that you have placed on the withdrawal limit. One thing got confirmed after the speech, in this booklet of about 4,000 words, and the Finance Minister’s speech. The good thing, at least, which the Government has confirmed is that demonetization has not worked because if it had worked, they would 2 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 have given us some numbers.
