Red tape journalism refers to the process of navigating bureaucratic obstacles and barriers in order to obtain information for a news story. This often involves dealing with government agencies, corporate entities, or other organizations that may be resistant to providing the requested information. It can be time-consuming and challenging for journalists to cut through this red tape in order to access important data or documents for their reporting.
"Red Tape" is not red, or even tape - it is a colloquial expression meaning "sluggish, plodding bureaucracy". To repeat: It is just an expression - it has nothing to do with "tape", red or otherwise.
