1.12 Media legislation evolves from meaningful
consultations among state institutions, citizens and
interest groups.

There is strong evidence that media legislation benefits from meaningful

Some important pieces of legislation, however, seem to remain on the back burner
despite lengthy consultations, such as the Right To Information Bill and the
Broadcasting Bill.
