Abstract
The paper covers the legal developments regulating the mass media and communication technology. In the countries like china and USSR there are various restrictions imposed upon the media. In certain countries media has not been granted enough freedom to express any such thoughts and opinions which violates the ideology of the government. On the other side there are countries like U.S.A which follows a system of Bourgeois democracy. In such countries no limitations have been imposed upon media. When we shift our views to Indian aspect there is a system of parliamentary democracy. In India press is guaranteed certain rights and freedoms but at the same time there are limitations imposed by the Constitution of India. Before the era of globalization the press was not granted freedom to report freely since it was controlled by the government. However in the present times there has been a colossal growth in privatization which has brought a revolution in the media and technological developments.
