news censorship
Silencing the press
News censorship is the suppression or control of information distributed through media channels by governments, corporations, or other authorities.
It may involve blocking publication entirely, requiring approval before release, or punishing outlets that report on forbidden topics.
Censorship ranges from overt bans on certain subjects to subtler forms like restricting journalist access or applying economic pressure to news organizations.
The regime's news censorship prevented any coverage of the protests from reaching the public.
