Press Council

A Press Council is an independent body that oversees and regulates the conduct of the media, particularly newspapers and other publications. Its primary role is to promote ethical journalism, ensure that the media operates fairly, and protect the rights of both journalists and the public. The council often addresses complaints from the public regarding media practices and can provide guidelines on responsible reporting. By fostering accountability, the Press Council helps maintain the integrity of the media, ensuring that it serves as a trustworthy source of information for society.
