In your settings what form of media exists? How does communication happen both individually and to the world at large? On the assumption there is some sort of broadcasting available, who are the journalists? How do they carry out their interviews? Are they respected or laughed at?
Roherum, my Fairy News Network goblin presenter, is avuncular and is both respected (he is a kind of icon) and laughed at (as his idea of an in depth question is to ask someone what was the deepest puddle they ever stood in! This is not entirely irrelevant given he is in a magical world which knows the classic nursery rhymes, including the one about Doctor Foster, but it is not the most important question ever asked).
Does your world have journalists risking imprisonment or worse for ferreting out the truth? What happens to whistleblowers on your world to those who dare to criticize the ruling regime? Eileen, my rebellious fairy godmother, was never afraid to criticize both Queen and Council but she was aware her royal status shielded her from many of the consequences of doing this. Eileen saw this as one of the few advantages to being royal and made the most of it. But what about those, perhaps in your stories, who don't have that advantage? What are they risking, do they get away with it, do they successfully bring the government to heel or are they punished, forced to be fugitives and so on?
There must be some good stories in answering those questions!
