Yes is the simplest and most direct answer.
There have been 'whistle blowers' throughout history, but because we know about those people and incidences they are not nearly as important as the information that is being withheld or hidden from us.
Raises the question, how do we know about things that are not being made transparent?

Freedom of the press consists of constitutional or statutory protections pertaining to the media and published materials. 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, classified or secret and being otherwise protected from disclosure due to relevance of the information to protecting the national interest.

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
Why is a weak government good?
The founding fathers could have created a country where the government was more powerful than the people ( a strong government ) But they recognised that such a government was what they were rebelling against. So to prevent powerful men, such as themselves, from controlling the country they created a system where the government had to seek the population's approval to govern every four years. This is in contrast to what happened in Nazi Germany, the USSR, and so many others. Now read a newspaper and watch the news, are these principles being eroded?

Why do governments use censorship?
Governments use censorship to prevent something from being published or broadcast for reasons of secrecy. For example during war time the government may want to limit some of the information being published to improve the moral of the citizens or to prevent the enemy from getting information from the media. For example there was censorship around the troop build up in England prior to D-Day so that the size and scope fo the operation would remain a mystery to the enemy. Government can also use censorship to prevent alternate opinions from being broadcast to the population. For example in World War I the US had very harsh censorship laws and prevented anyone from speaking out against that war. This is a double edged source as it subverts democratic principles by not allowing free discussion on issues and could be seen as an abuse of power. Government can also attempt to censor on moral authority and decide, for example what is fit print and read and what is not. It can be done directly by censoring specific works or put in place legal or voluntary frameworks that effectively censor works. This is another double edge sword that potentially prevents people from accessing material they want to because of "Big Brother" government.

This could be called lots of things, although the answer you are probably looking for is censorship. Censorship is the intentional blocking of information by any person, group, or entity and is usually done to prevent harmful information from getting out.
