Journalists should introspect whether they should be judgmental and opinionated in their reporting thus exerting pressure on police investigation and the court, said Kerala High Court judge Mohammed Mushtaq.
He was inaugurating a media awareness seminar in the context of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act and other children’s right laws organised by the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KeSCPCR) here on Saturday.
There is nothing wrong in reporting, but the problem is when journalists turn judgmental and opinionated. The media should set guidelines and boundaries in this regard, said Justice Mushtaq.
