I'd like to see the proof that independent media is "the basic element of democratic societies". While I partially agree with that statement, where is the evidence? From my experience, it is more local community groups that are the the basic element of democratic societies.

Hello, I am Catarina Varela, from Brazil. I'm a journalism student at the Federal University of Ceará and I'm taking the discipline of Theories of Journalism, in which we developed a project on scientific dissemination.

I watched your video and found the content very interesting and I believe it should be disseminated. Therefore, I translated the video into Brazilian Portuguese. Would you be interested? Would it be possible to upload the subtitles in Portuguese on the original video published on your channel?

Thank you in advance and congratulations for the great job done!

Sincerely,
