New Delhi: A panel set up by the Narendra Modi government last year to improve India’s ranking in the World Press Freedom Index has recommended drafting a communication strategy to highlight the positive aspects and publicise reforms to enhance press freedom in the country.
The panel has also said the government must engage with international media ranking agencies.
It added that the methodology adopted by Reporters Sans Frontières (Reporters Without Borders or RSF) to measure press freedom lacks transparency, and also identified a “Western bias” and “selection of parameters” as key concerns with the RSF’s index.
