You talked about ecosystems. We have a public ecosystem and a private ecosystem. We can almost say we have a digital ecosystem too, and it is not at all regulated. In the public and private sectors alike, news anchors and others can see to it that people are careful about what they say, without necessarily controlling what they say. That is not the case in the digital ecosystem, though.
I fully trust journalists who do professional work, but if they are given a certain direction, could they be prevented from saying what they want to say or what they think? Could they be told that they would do well not to venture into certain territory if they want to keep their 10 minutes on the air? Might reporters get that kind of direction?
