Media in Indian-Administered Kashmir
The media in Indian-administered Kashmir operates under intense scrutiny and pressure. Journalists face threats, curfews, and frequent internet shutdowns that severely limit press freedom. While local outlets are often polarized, many strive to report independently despite growing risks. Before the region’s special status was revoked in 2019, print and digital journalism thrived. However, the move triggered a sweeping media crackdown, silencing many voices. Still, independent journalists continue to report, determined to keep the truth alive under challenging conditions.
