I do not rejoice any newspaper disappearing.

I have to agree. My concern is that freedom of the "press" may not automatically extend to electronic media. Especially if the "fairness doctrine" gets reinstated. Has the supreme court ever ruled that electronic media is guaranteed the same protections as print media?

Dunno.

I would hope you don't need a ‘certificate’ from the Gov’t ‘authorizing’ being a ‘news’ source and having Constitutional protections.
