The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not mention any specific newspaper article about individual freedom, so we choose the article titled "Freedom of the Press: Challenges to this Pillar of Democracy," written by Stephen J. Wermiel, of March 2019.
In the article, he refers to the risks that exist when freedom of the press has been threatened by the government and other interests.
And the issue is that many governments of the world, including the ones that call themselves democratic, have always exerted some kind of pressure on peoples' individual liberties and the right of the Press to know more and what is beyond the news, in order to be informed to the public.
It seems that for many politicians, individual freedom and freedom of the press is a big risk to their individual agendas and political interests.
That is why social media has been a powerful tool -sone times misused- to allow the citizens and alternative media to express themselves and reveal the truth.
Politicians everywhere want to maintain their power, control, and influence. That is why they do not like the press to inform the truth and want to keep people ignorant.
