When "Freedom of the Press" is under attack, newspapers/press/media have had their legal counsel file lawsuits against the government. But with the demise of revenue for many newspapers (and many going out of business), I wonder if they will take those expensive steps.

If they don't respond in their reporters' interest, they won't have reporters risking arrest and hazard to report for them.

It's not that clear cut fortunately. There are people who do this because they really believe it should be done. Even without large org support, they'll be out there.
