I&B minister discusses new rules with digital news media organisations

The Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar said Thursday that he held a meeting with The Digital News Publishers Association to discuss the newly notified rules for digital media.

“In a follow up to meeting with OTT platforms, held an interaction with Digital News Publishers Association today. Discussed the new rules for digital media. They welcomed the new rules and offered few suggestions which I have noted,” the minister tweeted.

The association includes media organisations such as India Today, The Indian Express, Hindustan Times, The Times of India and so on.

The new digital media rules have asked for a three-tier grievance redressal for addressing grievances of citizens. These would consist of digital news publishers and self-regulatory bodies constituted by them.
