The said channel is being probed for allegedly manipulating TRPs and spreading discontent against the Mumbai Police.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Victimization of Journalists is Wrong<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Guild has emphasized that it does not wish to influence the probe by the authorities but the victimization of the journalists must stop.\u00a0 Even if they recognize that the probe has potential to bring in much needed transparency on the issue of TRP manipulation and proceeds of crime, even then victimisation of journalists is not warranted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Limits of Investigative Journalism being crossed<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Guild also expressed displeasure over Republic\u2019s high-strung conduct covering the unfortunate demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, especially the harangue directed at actor Rhea Chakraborty. They said that the pertinent questions asked by the Bombay High Court to the channel, such as &#8220;Is this part of investigative journalism? Asking the public about their opinion on who should be arrested?&#8221; must be addressed by all media.\u00a0 Also, they noted that the Court wondered whether the media was encroaching upon the domain of the police. Similar reservations about Republic\u2019s conduct has been expressed even by the News Broadcaster&#8217;s association (NBA) that disagrees with it\u2019s reporting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Both Media and Police Should Act Responsibly<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The police should ensure that media rights are not suppressed by arrest of journalists and the channel should ensure that collective credibility of media should not be affected and the safety of journalists are not compromised by such reporting. Right to free speech does not mean a licence to promote hate speech. It is important to maintain balance between media freedom and the imperative for it to reside within the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ed.
