Electronic media and radio

Newspaper business needs rapid and widespread local distribution, which can be easily controlled locally. However, with the advent of electronic media, the distribution principles are quite different, perhaps more equivalent to radio.

If we look at historical examples of circumventing restrictions on news, "Radio Free Europe" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Europe/Radio_Liberty)Radio Free Europe comes to mind, which was broadcasting towards USSR during the Cold War.

In a similar manner, we have seen some Russian media moving their offices to neighboring countries and distributing news electronically - for example, after a crackdown on opinions posted in Lenta.ru, a number of their employees moved out of Russia and formed an electronic news media Meduza, distributing news electronically from offices in Riga; explicitly listing the reason for their location as somewhere where the Russian government won't prevent their work. Similarly, there are journalists attempting to curate and distribute independent news in Belarus from neighboring countries through e.g. Telegram channels.

However, news really needs data from on-site reporters, especially if the "restricted data" aren't news about what's happening in the wider world (as was the focus of Radio Free Europe) but local news about social and political events, local business and corruption, etc. An "offshore" agency then needs to rely on local people, for whom it might be dangerous to collaborate as they might be subject to restrictions and/or detained if the local regime wants to.
