“A free press can of course be good or bad, but it is certain that without freedom it will never be anything but bad.”
— Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:
When newspapers, TV, and online news are allowed to report freely without government control, they can sometimes make mistakes or spread bad information. However, if these news sources are controlled by the government, they will always give a twisted or biased view of the truth. For example, in some countries, the government censors what people can read, see, or hear, which means citizens don't get the complete picture of what's really happening. This lack of freedom means people can't make well-informed decisions. To apply this idea to our lives, we should support and protect free media. By doing so, we help ensure that we get a balanced and truthful understanding of the world, even if sometimes the news is not perfect.
