Reporters Without Orders Ep 371: ANI’s copyright monopoly, crackdown on Gujarat Samachar

Reporters Without Orders

This week, host Anmol Pritam is joined by Newslandry’s Basant Kumar and The Reporters' Collective’s Ayushi Kar.

Ayushi talks about her report on the recent controversy between content creators and the news agency ANI. She explains how India’s guidelines on fair uses are not so publicly disclosed which leads to such disputes. Some of YouTube’s policies of fair use are also undefined that is why ANI weaponises its claim on their videos, she adds.

Basant reported on the shift of Gujarat Samachar, a prominent newspaper in Gujarat, which once stood by the then CM Narendra Modi during the 2002 Godhara riots. He explains how the nature between Modi and the organisation changed over time and the situation worsened to such an extent that it led to ED and IT searches.
