Over the last four years, several journalist bodies and opposition parties have been demanding that media persons be allowed to cover parliamentary proceedings.
The restrictions imposed on media access to the House during the Covid-19 pandemic have not yet been completely lifted. Journalists said that at present, access is granted in an “arbitrary” manner and only to a few.
Newslaundry spoke to reporters, representatives of journalist bodies, and MPs to understand what is at stake.
Officials of the Press Club of India said that the restriction “obstructs the democratic exchange of ideas, limits public discourse, and weakens accountability and transparency of the parliamentary system”. Meanwhile, Congress leader Manickam Tagore said that the “continued enforcement of these restrictions is adversely impacting the free and fair coverage of parliamentary proceedings”.

I was watching these newslaundry document-type videos. Don't know why these are not getting much views, people should watch these too other than just watching Tippani or Newsance

Algorithm is pushing these down

KZfaq is an Ad company. Their algorithm pushes videos that are more Ad friendly, if they start pushing videos that don't take any Ads then their whole business model will crumble. Public listed companies don't care about the good of humanity. They only care about the welfare of their shareholders. 🙃

It's unlikely that access will be permitted soon.

They won’t dare to allow all journalists - it’s going to bring forth all interactions.

The mainstream journalists act like paid stooges of the BJP/RSS with the exception of the digital/youtube journalists such as Newslaundry and others. It's amazing how the media in India is either not conscious of its serious responsibility of holding those in power accountable or too cowed down by the BJP. Keep up the great job Newslaundry !
