Self-censorship exists for a variety of reasons. In some cases, self-censorship is the result of indirect or historical links between certain media and the political power; while in others, it arises from a conlict of interest on the part of editors and journalists who simultaneously work as press advisers in government institutions or the private sector. Self-censorship may also be caused by insecurity or professional incompetence, wherein the journalist feels that he has insuicient command of the subject on which he is reporting, and seeks refuge by suppressing information that he feels might be controversial or polemic. here is another, no less pernicious, form of censorship that is encouraged by private companies who sign agreements with the media, but then limit their scope of action on subjects related to these companies in exchange for advertising or sponsorship.
