The question aims at highlighting the point why do authoritarian Governments ( specially in Asia) try to control the media.
Authoritarian
It is not true that authoritarian forms of government prioritize the freedom and rights of their citizens. Authoritarian governments are characterized by the concentration of power in a single leader or small group, limited political and civil liberties, and lack of political pluralism. These governments often suppress dissent, control the media, and strongly enforce obedience to the ruling authority.

There is always a certain degree of discretionary agreement between the government and the media but no, essentially, the Australian government does not control the media. The media is essentially free to express as much cynicism and suspicion of the government's actions and motives as they wish.
The command economy is the economic system that is associated with authoritarian governments and total control of the economy. The government imposes strict control of the production activities, pricing and exports.
Authoritarian
An authoritarian government is usually evidence of single-party rule.
In North Korea, the government controls all forms of media, including television, radio, newspapers, and the internet. The state ensures that all content aligns with its propaganda and ideology, restricting access to outside information or dissenting viewpoints. This tight control over media is a key tool used by the government to maintain its authoritarian rule and quash any opposition.
YES, TRUE. The two types of authoritarian governments are dictatorships and totalitarianism. So yes, it's an authoritarian government.
I
The government should put a check on media to control rumors and fake issues that disappoints media.
