Hi again,
What does l'entregent mean in this context? It doesn't seem to be talking about socialising...
Si les affaires de corruption sont débattues sur la place publique, c’est par l’entregent de la presse.
Thanks.

it really means something like "diplomacy" but in this case, it is clearly used to mean that if corruption is being publicly discussed it's thanks to the intervention of the press

resourcefulness/determination
"L'entregent" is defined as: resourcefulness; gumption. (Source: Larousse's F-E Dictionary).
I think this means that the press isn't just laying around doing nothing. They're resourcefully taking action with determination.
"Gumption" means fortitude and determination.
