Censorship in the U.S. media
Increasing competition for survival and pressures for making profit led the media to resort to lower quality content which seems harmful to the society, which necessitated the authorities to censor the media.
Censorship refers to the regulation of speech and other types of human expression, sometimes with reference to the government regulations. It normally prevails upon the actions that take place in public settings and normally relates to repression of them by culminating their expression. The censorship extends from particular words to complete concepts and the purported aim of censorship is to normalize or develop the society over which government has regulation. The origin of censorship is seen in England with introduction of the copyright laws that entailed the crown the authority of license publishing. It forbade printing without government sanction. It is sometimes referred to as prior restraint when a court or other governmental body forbids a person from speaking or publishing. Censorship in some countries like People's Republic of China, Saudi Arabia and Australia, are explicitly detailed in laws that clearly forbids the select positions from being published or propagated. Sometimes it is implied in the form of intimidation by government where people are fearful to express or support some opinions because of the fear of losing their jobs, their status in society, their credibility, or even to the extent of losing their lives.
