## Caption

⚠️ Reporting on public officials is the riskiest kind of journalism in #India today. 

CFJ’s #TrialWatch, nludofficial, and the Human Rights Institute at Columbia Law School uncovered: 
🔍 147 incidents where journalists were criminally charged for reporting on public officials
⚖️ Most cases rest on vague laws 
📛 Many prosecutions defy India’s own Supreme Court protections for free speech 

This pattern strikes at journalism’s democratic role — when power goes unchallenged, everyone loses.
