One has to acknowledge the role of good journalism in a tightly restricted authoritarian style government and the first is monitoring what is published and cracking down on dissent with the police force.

Remember the greatest writer possibly ever, Franz Kafka kept all his work unpublished during his lifetime and never made any money from his works. Writing is frequently attacked by authoritarian governments to stop people from gaining a different view of things.
