1. Rights of the media; in here it stipulates that there shall be freedom of the press in which the media has the freedom to communicate and express freely by use of the many mediums at its disposal. These include electronic, and print media. And without any interference from any overbearing authority, be it government, religious, or social organizations.

2. Responsibility of the media: to inform and educate the masses by use of different channels available. This could be through radio, television or print media. It also acts as a watchdog to prevent political, social and even political evils from manifesting which could negatively impact the society.
