It is at times difficult to draw a line between self-censorship and the editorial slant. Some are of the opinion that self-censorship takes place once the limits of the editorial line have been breached. For others, the editorial policy is an ideological orientation whereas self-censorship is phenomenon of power between the State and an individual (including the risk of imprisonment). For example; during the 2013 elections, certain call-in shows were suspended. The Express de Madagascar tries to limit self-censorship thanks to the application of a very precise editorial line.
