Abstract

The paper explores the complex interplay between media regulation and the fundamental right to freedom of expression. It argues that while the regulation of media is crucial for maintaining social order and protecting against misinformation, it can also inadvertently infringe upon individuals' rights to free speech. The author examines various models of media regulation across different jurisdictions, analyzing their effectiveness and potential drawbacks. The study highlights the importance of balancing regulation with the need to foster an environment where diverse voices can be heard without undue censorship. The analysis suggests that transparent and accountable regulatory frameworks, coupled with an understanding of the media's role in society, are essential for ensuring that both the public interest and the right to freedom of expression are upheld.
