How are these policies enforced? Can you look them up somewhere? Are they handed out to journalists once they start working at a newspaper? Who creates the policy? Are the the same in all western countries? How is that supposed to work?
- pphysch 2y agoIt's called "editorial policy", specifically the editorial policy for international topics. The big mainstream firms like NYT even include the government in their editorial process for high-risk topics, because they don't want to publish things that might "put American lives at risk" or other euphemisms for government censorship. Check out the career arcs for the top international editors; it's not a very ideologically diverse crowd! These policies are quietly enforced by the systemic firing and blacklisting of journalists (and presses) that demonstrate journalistic integrity in violation of the policies.
