EU member states decide to restrict freedom of press for national security reasons

Article is from a renowned german IT centric media outlet. Topic is a new ruling that allows for government spying through trojan horses on the press. This ruling is highly alarming.

I don't quite understand. Would journalists be forced to install state-created spyware on their work machines?
No they do not have to install them by themselves but goverment intelligence agencies or police may use them against journalists.
OK, so a journalist who is technically knowledgeable might evade this altogether.
You can never have 100% security. And tbf I dont think this is a valuable argument if its about basic freedom of media to not fucking spy on journalists.
