Questione giuridica chiave
Whether refusal of access to a prison for a TV interview with an inmate infringes media freedom and requires an Art. 36 BV review.
Decisione estratta
The refusal interferes with media freedom; the cantonal court wrongly denied the protected scope and must assess legal basis, public interest, and proportionality.
Motivazione estratta
Journalistic information gathering is protected by Art. 17 BV, including choice of interview format. A prison interview falls within that protection regardless of content. Therefore the refusal is an interference requiring justification under Art. 36 BV.
