Don't you think this is something rather dangerous? I get goose pimples all
over when I see the government in bed with the press. When it's one
newspaper, magazine or channel, then it's still kind of ok -- this is then
the "government channel" or so. But when it's all of the "local media"... I
don't know. 

Having a healthy, ongoing discussion between government, law enforcement
and the media about the effects of publishing certain events is one thing.
Having clear-cut agreements is another...
