| - | '''Prior restraint''' is a [[Law of the United States|legal]] term related to [[censorship in the United States]] referring to [[United States government|government]] actions that prevent [[Communications in the United States|communications]] from reaching the public. Its main use is to keep materials from being published. [[Censorship]] that requires a person to seek governmental permission in the form of a license or [[imprimatur]] before publishing anything constitutes prior restraint every time permission is denied. More recently, prior restraint has often taken the form of an [[injunction]] or other governmental order prohibiting the publication of a specific document or subject. Sometimes, the government becomes aware of a forthcoming publication on a particular subject and seeks to prevent it. In other cases, the government attempts to halt ongoing publication and prevent its resumption. These injunctions are also usually considered to be cases of prior restraint, because future publications are stopped before they start. | + | '''Media transparency''' is the concept of determining how and why [[information]] is conveyed through various means. |
