What legal requirements should I follow for my YouTube news channel?
To legally operate a YouTube news channel in India, you need to comply with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021, which requires registering with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting if you publish news content. You must also follow YouTube's policies, copyright laws, avoid defamatory content, and ensure your content doesn't violate other media regulations like the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act provisions or Press Council of India guidelines regarding news reporting and journalistic ethics.
Sir, to ensure legal compliance for your YouTube news channel, follow copyright laws by using licensed content, adhere to privacy laws, and avoid sharing personal data without consent. You must comply with YouTube’s monetization policies, and follow broadcasting regulations to avoid defamation or fake news. Obtain necessary licenses for third-party content and consult a media lawyer for specific guidance. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
