The media outlets mostly run by the revenue that they generate wither from the advertisement or based on the circulation that they have. So, they do not need to rely on government subsidies.

But for me the media outlets are aware of the censorship issues. They censor some of the indecent incidents. They do not expose the events as the policy they are following for censor does not allow them to unveil the indecent scenes. Moreover, they also have some other policies regarding the censorship.
