It is considered that media, to be free from dangers of authoritarianism and be the shelter of good government, must be treated in a free enterprise regime.

Hey Ricardo! Very interesting question!

Looking forward to hear other ideas!
Thanks for your answer, Stephanie. It is really a challenge: how much of free speech could be excercised by journal's employees facing the needs of advertising?

All these questions have also been put by Ben Bagdikian's The media monopoly, and they have not found an answer.
