In general NO.
I once had to know that journalists are in dependence from their boss and boss does have managers and redactors.
So called independent journalists are in dependence from ...will media post their articles or NO....because they aren't employees with fixed contracts... if article will get purchased, they are getting payment for autorship rights etc. If no, good buye.
Bloggers, channels etc: dependence from clicks, etc and subs etc.
Once I was shocked but later get core here when one musician had answered question : how do you see difference between prostitute and journalist?
He answered : prostitutes more often are doing their Job honestly.
If he was random blogger, I didn't had paid attention but from someone who had nothing and climbed up till sell more than 40000 tickets during financial crisis it is different salt from someone who isn't an idiot or looser.
