Art/Literary - Government / Politics
Spanish term or phrase: libertad informativa
"En aquel momento, la televisión en España gozaba de uno de los momentos con más **libertad informativa** de su Historia."

Sé exactamente lo que significa, pero el término "freedom of information" en inglés no me suena bien porque me hace pensar en el "Freedom of Information Act" aquí en el Reino Unido.
