media independence
Journalism without interference
Media independence is the principle that news organizations should operate free from government control, corporate interference, or political pressure.
Independent media can report critically on powerful institutions without fear of censorship or retaliation.
The concept is central to press freedom debates: The new ownership threatened the newspaper's media independence.
Countries vary widely in how much media independence their laws protect and their cultures tolerate.
