Women Journalists Transforming Media Landscape, Facing AI-Driven Threats: CJI-designate
Imagine journalists as detectives telling us what's happening in the world.
Justice Surya Kant, who is like a top judge, said that women journalists are doing a super important job, especially in reporting on problems like social injustice and violence.
They are like pioneers, showing us things many others miss.
He also said that new technology, like AI that can make fake pictures and videos, is creating new dangers for them.
Sometimes, bad people use this tech to make fake stories or images to hurt women journalists' reputations, make them scared, and make it hard for them to do their jobs.
This can damage their careers and even make people not trust them.
Justice Kant believes that media companies need to create rules to protect these journalists, just like we protect people in other important jobs.
He compared their hard work to the Indian women's cricket team winning, showing how women break barriers and achieve excellence.
Women journalists are recognized for transforming the media landscape through pioneering local reporting on social injustice, gender violence, and policy gaps.
CJI-designate Justice Surya Kant lauded women journalists for their persistent and impartial reporting, which has led to tangible social changes.
He highlighted the unique vulnerabilities women journalists face due to AI and emerging technologies like deepfakes, which are used for online violence, harassment, and professional harm.
Justice Kant emphasized that digital abuse against women journalists undermines confidence, security, and press freedom, often resulting in permanent reputational damage.
There is a call for media organizations and governing bodies to develop strong protocols and regulations to specifically protect women journalists from these evolving threats.
