Answer:

Censorship is when an article, piece of information, or person (reporter/journalist in this case) is deliberately manipulated or hidden away to keep things under wraps. Bribery can be a part of censorship. Some governments actively perform censorship, for example, when a journalist wants to write an an article about a mayor stealing away government money, but the someone bribes them with money and "favors", so the journalist writes an article about the park the mayor helped build (could be called propaganda).

Hope this helps you out! Have a fantastic day! :)
