Campaign against Fake Media

Dear Friends, 


If ever you come across any news on any news channel, which you can authenticate that it is false. please complaint on the website of concerned news channel.


Kisi media channels ko true videos bhejne ka koi faayda nahi hai.. Bhejna hai to send the true videos here along with the videos as telecast by media. But jaldi karna padega, since we have only 7 days to complaint against a specific news item. This should be sent on the feedback/complaint form of that channel's website.


The standards of newsbroadcasting as published on NBA Site can be downloaded from http://www.nbanewdelhi.com/cod​eof-ethics-broadcasting-standa​rds.aspThis is just a 5 page doucment.


Below are some of the areas where the broadcasters seek to self-regulate.





1) Impartiality and objectivity in reporting:


Accuracy is at the heart of the news television business. Viewers of 24 hour news channels expect speed, but it is the responsibility of TV news channels to keep accuracy, and balance, as precedence over speed. If despite this there are errors, channels should be transparent about them. Errors must be corrected promptly and clearly, whether in the use of pictures, a news report, a caption, a graphic or
a script. Channels should also strive not to broadcast anything which is obviously defamatory or libelous. Truth will be a defense in all cases where a larger public interest is involved, and in even these cases, equal opportunities will be provided for individuals involved to present their point of view. This also applies in cases where television channels report on those holding public office, though by virtue of doing so, no person can claim immunity from scrutiny from or criticism by news channels.

2) Ensuring neutrality:
TV News channels must provide for neutrality by offering equality for all affected parties, players and actors in any dispute or conflict to present their point of view. Though neutrality does not always come down to giving equal space to all sides (news channels shall strive to give main view points of the main parties)news channels must strive to ensure that allegations are not portrayed as fact and charges are not conveyed as an act of guilt.



‎10) Corrigendum:
All news channels will keeping with the principle of due accuracy and impartiality, ensure that significant mistakes made in the course of any broadcast is acknowledged and corrected on air immediately. Corrections should also be scheduled in such a way that they attract enough viewer attention and are not concealed. This, like the other principles, must be observed in spirit, and not just in letter, to avoid any compromise to the reputation of the news broadcasting industry in India.

11) Viewer feedback:

All News Channels will on their website, create provision to receive consumer feedback. Further any specific viewer complaints will be responded to. In the event any news channel gets a specific complaint if found to be true it will admit to the same on air and will respond in fullness and fairness to the viewer. In the event, a viewer/body perceives prejudice by any specific report carried by the News channel, it will respond in fullness and without impartiality to the viewer.




Members/friends/panelists please follow the instructions and do need full whenever you feel offended by any news channel.
