12. The universality of autonomy as a value in the professional identity of media professionals is empirically supported and theorized in great detail by Armin Scholl and Siegfried Weischenberg in a 1999 paper in the Web Journal of Mass Communication Research, available at http://www.scripps.ohiou.edu/wjmcr/ vol02/2-4a-B.htm
