This is really interesting, too because of the decentralized implementation/enforcement.

Compare Romania's one sentence implementation of the journalism exception (translated by the EU website so perhaps not the best):

>In order to ensure a balance between the right to the protection of personal data, freedom of expression and the right to information, processing for journalistic purposes or for the purpose of academic, artistic or literary expression, it may be carried out if it concerns personal data which have been made manifestly publicly disclosed by the data subject or closely related to the public personality of the person concerned or the public nature of the facts in which he is involved

With the U.K.'s implementation of that same exception [at Part 5]: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/schedule/2
