This Act amends the Working Journalists Act to protect contractual employees in Delhi by including them under the definition of working journalists and newspaper employees. It introduces stricter penalties for employers who fail to pay wages, allowing authorities to order compensation up to five times the owed amount and imposing imprisonment or fines for non-payment. The legislation strengthens labor rights for media workers in the National Capital Territory by ensuring contractual staff receive the same protections and financial security as permanent employees.
