of individualism and
limited government
which is not harmful to

LIVE THEIR LIVES HOW THEY SEE
FIT, AS LONG AS THEY RESPECT
EVERYBODY ELSE'S RIGHT TO DO
THE SAME

LIBERTARIANS ADVOCATE
MINIMALIST GOVERNMENT

NO SAY WHATSOEVER IN THE DECISIONS A

LIBERTARIAN THEORU SEES PEOPLE
ARE MORE ENOUGH TO FIND AND
JUDGE GOOD IDEAS FROM BAD.
THE THEORY SAYS PEOPLE ARE
RATIONAL AND THEIR RATIONAL
THOUGHTS LEAD THEM TO FIND
OUT WHAT ARE GOOD AND BAD.
THE PRESS SHOULD NOT RESTRICT
ANYTHING EVEN A NEGATIVE
CONTENT BECAUSE IT MAY GIVE
KNOWLEDGE AND CAN MAKE
BETTER DECISION WHILST WORST
SITUATION.

6. WEAKNESSES OF
LIBERTARIAN THEORY OF
PRESS
• MEDIA MIGHT NOT ALWAYS ACT
RESPONSIBLY.
• INDIVIDUALS MIGHT NOT ALWAYS
HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS AND
ETHICS.
• FREEDOM OF DIFFERENT IDEAS AND
OPINIONS CAN BE COLLIDE WITH
ONE OTHER
• MEDIA CAN MISUSE ITS POWER AND
HARM OTHER PEOPLE'S PRIVACY
STRENGTHS OF
LIBERTARIAN THEORY OF
PRESS
• MEDIA CAN GIVE TRUE
INFORMATION WITHOUT
RESTRICTION.
• ALL INDIVIDUALS CAN EXPRESS
THEIR OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS IN
THE MEDIA OPENLY.
• IT CHECKS THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE STATE AUTHORITIES AND ALSO
PREVENTS CORRUPTION.

7. EXAMPLE
WIKI LEAKS WEBSITE PUBLISHED ALL
SORTS OF CONFIDENTIAL OR
RESTRICTED FILES IN PUBLIC SPACE
AND ESPECIALLY CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS. THESE ARTICLES ARE
PROVIDING BRIEF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS ACTIVITIES
WHICH HELPS PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SOCIETY
AND ITS GIVES GREAT CHOICES TO
ELECT A BETTER PRESIDENT IN FUTURE.
