contents <p>Digital journalism’s expansion both quickens news distribution and causes privacy invasions as well as moral issues. Indian society faces persistent tensions between Article 19(1)(a) press freedom rights and Article 21 right to privacy which become most evident through sensationalistic journalism reporting methods and the practices of media trials and social media misinformation. The legal frameworks which include the Press Council of India and the Information Technology Act 2000 do not regulate digital journalism properly thus making individuals exposed to insufficient media oversight and unauthorized data disclosures. The research looks at the constitutional and legal barriers to finding equilibrium between press liberties and privacy rights while putting attention on worldwide legal standards including GDPR in the EU and UK media control methods. The proposal emphasizes how India requires stronger media accountability systems along with ethical journalistic standards and a Right to Be Forgotten procedure for the nation. Legislative improvements will defend personal dignity without sacrificing digital freedom for the press in current media conditions.</p>
