Having seen the other answer, I have a trivia tidbit to add. In Swedish,
the press is sometimes referred to as "tredje statsmakten" - "The third
power of government". Since I'm on vacation, I don't have access to
my dictionaries, so I can't check, but I can imagine that "estate" in
this context can translate as "statsmakt".
