Press Council of India censures Star of Mysore for its Islamophobic Editorial During Covid Pandemic #IndiaNEWSAll #Karnataka
Press Council of India (PCI) censured the ‘Star of Mysore’ (SOM) for its April 2020 editorial, ‘Bad Apples in the Basket’. In the piece, the Mysore-based news publication purportedly called the Muslim community in India “bad apples”.
A censure by the PCI means that the state government concerned must not advertise in the paper for three consecutive months.
The PCI’s order comes on the basis of a complaint filed on 03. 05. 2020 by the Campaign Against Hate Speech, a collective that works towards promoting media accountability.
The complaint claimed that “the news agency is promoting and inciting hatred towards the community (Muslims) on the grounds of religion… thereby violating a basic principle of journalism of not to attribute individual actions to a whole community to spread hatred and violence against it. ”
An inquiry committee had been constituted by the PCI which recommended censure after hearing both parties involved in the matter.
The committee refused to accept the contentions of the newspaper that the editorial had been published in ‘good faith’ and had been published in the context of the coronavirus pandemic to caution readers against those not following safety protocols.
