Abstract:- Media governance means the entirety of rules that aim to organize media systems. It is characterized as a new concept suited for the analysis of media policy and regulation. In a society like India to draw conclusions at issues of media regulation, at first there should be an establishment of a genuine and neutral body to judge the process of media workings. By looking at the current environment of non-existing neutral regulatory bodies for media the only hope that is left is the judiciary. This article tries to address the issue of regulation of electronic media in India. It also focuses on the history of media regulation in India with special reference to television content regulation. It analyzes the consequence of several regulatory mechanisms relating to media around the world. Lastly it suggests a model of regulatory mechanism through the ideas of co-regulation, to regulate the fastest growing media industry of India and to find a balance between private and public sphere.
