independent press
Small autonomous publisher
Independent press refers to news organizations and publishers operating free from government control, corporate ownership, or other outside influence that might compromise editorial decisions.
The term emphasizes autonomy in reporting and publishing: A healthy democracy depends on an independent press.
It may also describe small publishing houses operating outside major corporate conglomerates: Her novel found a home with an independent press in Portland.
