In India, press freedom, while constitutionally protected under Article 19(1)(a) which guarantees freedom of speech and expression, faces challenges. The press has rights to publish, circulate, receive information, and report court proceedings, among others. However, there are limitations and restrictions on these rights, and the government has been criticized for using colonial-era laws and anti-terrorism laws to suppress the media. The foundation for press freedom in India is Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to freedom of speech and expression. The press has the right to publish and circulate information, including news, articles, and other media
