I'm working on a paper about media science and in one of the Japanese papers
the author talks about "新聞の民主性". I do know the general meaning of the word,
but I struggle to put it into proper English or struggle to find the
corresponding English term.

Here's is one of the sentences for context:

井口の新聞学では、彼はマス・コミュニケーションの一つとして相対化され、同時に「新聞の民主性」というイデオロギーが成立した。
