Protests Target Media, Paid Trolling in Bollywood, and Supreme Court Live-Streaming Issues

Protests Target Media, Paid Trolling in Bollywood, and Supreme Court Live-Streaming IssuesPreviousNext

Recent protests against the NEET paper leak saw hostility directed at mainstream TV reporters, accused of siding with the establishment, with some journalists facing heckling and physical confrontations. Separately, the Indian film industry grapples with paid online trolling campaigns used to damage star reputations, highlighting the growing role of reputation management agencies. Meanwhile, live-streaming of Supreme Court proceedings has increased transparency but raised concerns over context loss as clips circulate on social media, prompting judicial restrictions to balance public access and accountability.
