news management

 
     
  The manipulation by government departments (including ministries of foreign affairs) of independent media organizations to support a particular line of policy. Unnecessary in totalitarian states (where such organizations do not exist), advisable in authoritarian ones (where they are sometimes tolerated provided that they behave), and indispensable in liberal democracies (where they are the ‘fourth estate’), this is normally achieved by the selective briefing of journalists and sometimes by the ‘leaking’ of official documents.International organizations also engage in news management, though they are reputed to be less good at it.
