The lack of reporting reaches insane levels in the original trilogy.

The rise and fall of the Empire just slides right by everybody's life until stormtroopers show up at their door. The average citizen in the galaxy does not know that their democracy is crumbling because nobody is reporting on it. During the Clone Wars, people are still going to operas, flying speeders around, and acting like nothing is happening, even right as the Jedi are getting murdered. We never see reporters, or news bulletins, or anything like that. The truth is that there is no press in the Star Wars universe.
