Last week the Delhi High Court admitted a petition challenging the definition of journalist under the Working Journalist and other Newspaper Employees and Misc Provision Act, 1955. A Division Bench of the Court issued a notice to the Union of India on widening the definition of a working journalist to cover electronic media. The petitioner works for the Guwahati-based TV channel DY365. He wants TV journalists to come within the ambit of the Act, so that the benefits recommended under the Act can be availed of by them.
