a current, interesting example that works well in ur BANG or argument for the qn below...

FOR:
-forbids publishing of any info that will compromise national security, esp those concerning the military...
-undermines the standing and reputation of the nation in the eyes of the international community?
"...legitimate under the Official Secrets Act, a colonial-era law that bars the collection of secret documents to aid an enemy"

AGAINST:
Journalists, being people, are imperfect. But journalism, done right, serves a high public purpose. It produces transparency in markets, holds governments and businesses to account, gives people tools to make well-informed decisions, uncovers wrongdoing, inspires reforms, and tells true and remarkable stories that move and inspire. The United Nations must insist that the suppression of a free press contradicts the very nature of democracy and cannot be tolerated.

Qn: Is regulation of the press desirable? (Cam. 2017)
