Independent media

Mass communication outlets not associated with governments or corporations

Independent media is mass media, such as television, newspapers, or Internet-based publications, that is free of influence by government or corporate interests. Independence stands as a cornerstone principle within media policy and the freedom of the press, representing an "essentially contested concept". The concept is often used to denote, declare, or claim independence from state-control, market forces, or conventions, and media organisations and individuals assert their legitimacy and credibility through it.
