Media Laws
DraftCraft Institutes, the educational and research arm of global think tank DraftCraft International, has been offering internationally-recognised courses confirming to global industry standards since 2001. These courses are conducted independently as well as in conjunction with universities and institutes across the world.
Distinctly opposed to academic institutes, DraftCraft Institutes fulfill three vital roles:
1. Design courses that supplement conventional, formal education with pertinent practical exposure and provide participants the 'industry edge' over counterparts.
2. Create courses complete with Industrial Visits to bridge the 'skills' gap between academics and industry and prepare participants for professional endeavours.
3. Offer a unique opportunity for course participants to partake in DraftCraft International's Live Projects and gain crucial practical experience in core specialisations.
About The Course
The course is an intensive training programme that covers legal aspects of the Media industry - newspapers, magazines, periodicals in the print media; radio, podcasts in the audio media; news channels, documentary channels and others in the television/broadcast media; spoofs, documentaries, shorts and reviews in the online/electronic media; and films. Media is hailed as the 'Fourth Estate' i.e a watchdog for the other pillars of democracy. Media informs the society, raises issues of public interest and advocates to those responsible for public welfare.
This course will apprise participants of the legalese involving Copyright, Agreements, Fake News, Indian and Foreign Media Regulations, Censorship, Civil and Criminal Defamation, Freedom of Speech, Bias, Public Good and Sedition. Understanding these laws that bind the media and protect intellectual property is very important. Each module is complete with the latest in Case Studies, Precedents, Judgement Analysis, Act and Rule Application, Amendments, Legal Insight, Reach and Global Perspective.
