One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Normative theories of the press

Normative theories of the press explain how the media ought to operate in society, especially in relation to the state, the public, and freedom of expression. For exam purposes, you must master the main models, the values behind each one, and how each theory justifies control, responsibility, or freedom in media practice.
