The Central government is planning to review the guidelines for accreditation of journalists who work in online media companies.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has sought the views of the public on issues such as the criteria to empanel online media units, the kind of entities that should be covered under online media, how long should an organisation be in existence to be included in the consideration set and so on.
The present set of rules for accreditation of journalists working in online media was prepared many years back when that space was still very small. The PIB has designated officers to monitor online media content now, a practice unheard of a few years ago.
