Can i put another dimension without trying to be judgmental: it seems to me that the younger generations of journalists (and audiences) are a lot more censorious by nature. I don't know the causes of it but it's certainly very prevalent, and it seems all the 'dissenters' are a few decades older. There was for a while a prevalent narrative of "safety" or "safe spaces", but that has passed, and it seems that it has been replaced by a general tendency to hide ucomfortable problems "under the rug".
Young people are usually more radical, especially when they are inexperienced and believe in some ideology. Maybe we're just witnessing a generational shift in power in media where it's not a 50 year old person taking over for somebody that retires, but a 35 year old person (because more digital skills?).
