Perhaps what bothered the media in 1970s was the shift in liberty being suggested. For centuries,
journalists had operated on the basis of negative liberty, or freedom from external restraints.
Suddenly, however, the thrust was positive freedom, a freedom for pursuit of some predetermined
goals. This new social responsibility seems grounded on a school of thought that sees negative
liberty as insufficient and ineffective, somewhat like telling people they are free to walk without
first making sure they are not crippled. Who better than government is able to provide humanity
with appropriate means? Government, even a democratic government, is seen by social
responsibility adherents as the only force strong enough to guarantee effective operation of
freedom This does not mollify observers who find social responsibility to be only slightly disguised
version of authoritarianism. Media philosopher John Merrill has been one of the most outspoken
critics of the theory. To him, the proposition that pluralism of ideas should be governmentally
mandated is ludicrous. Journalists, he says, must retain their freedom to make their own news
and editorial judgements. Even well-intentioned attempts by outside groups seeking media
improvement are self-serving, and inevitably lessen the autonomy of journalists, Merrill maintains.
This leads us to the issue of media autonomy.
(1) Freedom of limited choices
