Editorial independence

Freedom of editors to make decisions

Editorial independence is the freedom of editors to make decisions without any interference from the owners of a publication.

Editorial independence is tested, for instance, if a newspaper runs articles that may be unpopular with its advertising clientele or critical of its ownership.

"The media has increasingly grown to rely on automated decision-making to produce and distribute news. This trend challenges our understanding of editorial independence ..."[1]

The German Wikipedia contains the following definitions of levels of analysis regarding media related legal frameworks:
