Editorial independence

Editorial independence refers to the freedom of journalists and media organizations to make content decisions—such as what to report, how to report it, and when to report it—without external influence from owners, governments, advertisers, or other outside forces. This principle ensures that news reporting is guided by journalistic ethics and the public interest, rather than by political or commercial agendas.^[1]
