Simplified Meaning:
For a society to stay free, it's important that journalists can write and report on whatever they see happening. If the government or any authority controls what they say and share, then people won't get the true story or be able to make informed decisions. Take, for example, a country where the news is controlled by the government. People in that country may not know about government corruption or problems because all the bad news is hidden. This can make it easy for leaders to stay in power without being held accountable. To apply this idea to our lives, we should support and seek out independent, truthful news sources to stay informed and protect our freedoms.
