Remember the Death Star conference scene in A New Hope, when one of the admirals asks Tarkin what they will do about the senate? Tarkin tells him not to worry because the senate doesn't exist anymore, like the dude didn't know. We expect that the Empire censors news for the average citizen, but it seems like even top-level commanders have no clue what is happening in the government.
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. The video is presented in the form of a record entry made in the Jedi Archives by Jedi Master Gnost-Dural. We never see reporters, or news bulletins, or anything like that. Timeline 1: Treaty of Coruscant is the first in the series of in-universe videos, providing backstory for the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game. The truth is that there is no press in the Star Wars universe.
