The Fourth Estate: Judiciary Validates Press Power
The true strength of the media lies in its institutional recognition as the Fourth Estate of democracy. In recent years, the Supreme Court has explicitly stressed that a free press and an independent judiciary are indispensable allies.
The Bharat Media Association asserts that this judicial validation empowers journalists. When the courts recognize the press as a distinct, vital democratic pillar, it solidifies the media's institutional authority to investigate the executive and legislative branches on behalf of the public.
