Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article argues that India's media market, despite immense latent demand driven by its large population and growing economy, is stifled by government-imposed monopolies and restrictive policies. While technological advancements and private sector growth have created opportunities for competition, the government's reluctance to liberalize media regulations and its focus on maintaining control over content and distribution hinder the market's potential. The article critiques the proposed Broadcasting Bill for prioritizing political and economic interests over free expression and market efficiency, urging a shift toward policies that foster competition, innovation, and decentralized media infrastructure.
