Indian media to be held responsible for foreign content

KOCHI (The Straits Times/ANN): New restraints on the publication of foreign reports in Indian newspapers are drawing attention to the Indian government's wariness about overseas coverage.

On Nov 25, the Press Council of India, India's main print media regulator, said it had received comments "by the government about the responsibility of Indian newspapers in publishing foreign contents", and declared that "unregulated circulation of the foreign content is not desirable".
