Detailed Solution

Censorship is used for government control over the media.
Media is the way through which information can be communicated to large audiences in one go within minimal time. To ensure that the information published or broadcasted is authentic and has a balanced view, press freedom is essential, meaning there should be no strict government regulation on media. The government should not dictate what the press should publish and what not to publish. However, such media independence is not followed by the government at all times, and they can control the media strictly. This strict control of media by the government is termed censorship. The Indian media also faced censorship during the internal emergency period from 1975-1977.
