Freedom of speech is everyone’s responsibility as newsrooms shrink
An opinion piece argues that protecting public access to information falls to society broadly as journalism resources decline.
As newsrooms continue to contract, the responsibility for protecting freedom of speech and the public's right to know extends beyond traditional media outlets to the wider community. The piece emphasises that this fundamental right belongs to everyone and must be actively maintained during a period of significant change in the news industry.
