What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A group of 21 news publishers, including companies owned by Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, challenged a new law in the Supreme Court on October 28, 2026. The law requires journalists to seek consent from people they write about. The publishers argued that the law constitutes pre-censorship and could force newsrooms to shut down. The Supreme Court stated it would hear the case next month.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The publishers argue the law would trample upon investigative work and allow the government to identify journalists’ sources. They contend that requiring consent could allow subjects to destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses, fundamentally changing the concept of news reporting.
