- Independent media, refers to any news media that is free from influence by the government or other external sources like corporations or influential people.
- This means journalists at these media outlets feel no pressure to shape, change or sanitise their reporting, even if it negatively portrays the government, the opposition, people or other power entities.
- Independent journalism allows unvarnished facts to be shared, it tells & seeks truth, so information may be used to help them decide on important issues, like politicians & policies to support or companies that are acting un/ethically & thus deserve or don’t deserve their business.
- Independent journalism is one of the most important tenets of democracy. When a person, group or government can control what news its citizens consume, they can control what information they have when they cast their vote.
