J&K Implements New Media Policy, Raising Concerns Over Social Media Journalism

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has rolled out a new media policy that has garnered significant attention and raised concerns within the journalistic community. The policy's provisions regarding social media content and its regulation have been met with mixed reactions, with some hailing it as a necessary step to curb misinformation while others view it as a potential threat to freedom of expression. Critics argue that the policy could lead to increased censorship and stifle independent voices in the region. The government, however, maintains that the policy aims to promote responsible journalism and protect the integrity of information dissemination.
