The
above
-
mentioned
principles
of
universality
and
decentralisation
,
which
are
especially
important
to
the
field
of
journalism
,
are
bolstered
by
the
Court
’s
view
that
domestic
laws
should
allow
“
journalists
to
use
information
obtained
from
the
Internet
without
fear
of
incurring
sanctions”[12
]
.
As
a
technique
of
reporting
,
hyperlinking
facilitates
and
improves
the
journalistic
process
by
enabling
content
to
be
delivered
more
swiftly
to
users
and
enabling
journalists
to
convey
information
that
is
more
readily
accessible
and
digestible
.
It
also
promotes
diversity
and
pluralism
in
the
media
,
which
is
substantively
in
the
public
interest
,
since
through
hyperlinking
large
and
small
media
organisations
are
able
to
work
together
in
a
mutually
beneficial
manner
to
provide
enriched
content
to
users
.
Typically
,
journalists
and
journalistic
organisations
are
not
in
a
position
to
reassure
themselves
as
to
the
legality
of
the
content
on
any
linked
pages
.
Even
if
it
were
assumed
for
the
sake
of
argument
that
larger
media
organisations
may
to
a
certain
extent
be
able
to
weather
the
legal
risks
attendant
on
hyperlinking
,
it
is
plainly
the
case
that
smaller
journalistic
organisations
,
with
far
more
limited
resources
,
would
have
no
choice
but
to
abandon
hyperlinking
.
