ETLegalWorld invites registration for the webinar on the Broadcasting Services Bill 2024 which will be exploring the key provisions of the upcoming legislation aimed at regulating broadcasting services.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has drafted the Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill, 2024, which will replace the Television Network Act of 1995. The Bill will classify influencers and social media pages that produce content or discuss current affairs or news online as ‘digital news broadcasters’.
The draft Bill, shared with stakeholders a few weeks ago, extends its scope beyond over-the-top (OTT) content and digital news to include social media accounts and online video creators, expanding on a version of the draft law released in November 2023. The new version broadly defines ‘digital news broadcaster’, requiring prior registration with the government and establishing content evaluation standards.
The Webinar is scheduled on Mon, 7 Oct, 2024 03:00 – 04:00 PM IST
