The Government Should Not Be Its Own Newsroom is an independent journalism T-shirt for anyone uneasy when official content tries to replace reporting. A government can explain its policies. It should not control the camera, select the questions, provide the applause, and call the result news. The self-filming podium and excluded microphone turn that problem into a sharp visual joke. This government transparency shirt belongs at journalism events, media-literacy classes, civil-liberties rallies, campaign gatherings, and conversations about propaganda in the social-media age. Ratify This made it for reporters, editors, teachers, students, and voters who want facts tested outside the communications office. Independent press can be imperfect, irritating, and essential at the same time. The point is not to silence official speech. The point is to keep official speech from becoming the only version the public is allowed to see.
