Default Press should be given freedom or not?

With respect to governmental information, any government distinguishes which materials are public or protected from disclosure to the public based on classification of information as sensitive, secret and being otherwise protected from disclosure due to relevance of the information to protecting the national interest.

However we also know that a free press plays a key role in sustaining and monitoring a healthy democracy, as well as in contributing to greater accountability, good government, and economic development. Most importantly, restrictions on media are often an early indicator that governments intend to assault other democratic institutions. The freedom of media is also affirmed by Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers"

On basis of above What do you Think? Press should be given freedom or not?
