While the GDPR does provide some exemptions for journalistic activities to balance the right to data protection with the right to freedom of expression and information, these exemptions do not generally extend to the collection, use, and disclosure of sensitive personal data, such as medical information, without the data subject's knowledge or consent. The processing of sensitive data is subject to stricter conditions, and the public interest argument is unlikely to outweigh the data subject's rights to privacy and data protection in such cases.
