Amid rising propaganda and misinformation on social media that threaten the social fabric, the council stands as a defender of independent journalism. It actively combats misuse of digital platforms and unlawful attempts, including court injunctions, aimed at restricting media freedom.
In such situations, the council provides essential legal aid, represents media houses in the courts, and advocates for justice and transparency.
Beyond legal support, the council fosters collaboration between concerned citizens, media-reliant organisations, and institutions, creating a unified front to uphold the integrity of the media.
The Karnataka Media Council is also evolving as a crucial resource center for universities and colleges offering journalism and mass communication programs, playing a meaningful role in shaping future media professionals.
