In India mostly media is self-regulated but government has some powers to protect citizens. For example, government sets rule based on media but in the benefit of citizen. In India media is free to say anything but under some control. There is existing bodies for regulation of media such as the Press Council of India. This department is controlled by government. There another department censors board to regulate films and advertisements namely Central Board of Film Certification. http://presscouncil.nic.in/, http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-faq-how-media-in-india-is-regulated/20111110.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Board_of_Film_Certification, http://cbfcindia.gov.in/,

In India broadcasting media is both private business and public services. For example, there are some government channels which only work in benefits of citizen for example doordarshan group is government network, who always help people in awareness of every kind. More importantly it is free to watch same as radio stations. You just need a TV to watch this not even any connection from other countries, whereas network like Star, Zee only work for profit. They advertise all the ridicules things for profit like ads of toilet paper, underwear’s and more. http://prasarbharati.gov.in/, (me), (mom)
