Hint 1: Clue Explanation

So, there’s a movie called the FIFTH ESTATE, from 2013, that’s about WikiLeaks, basically, although the inference is that the term refers to everything informational and digital. That was the only reference I could come up with for this clue without help (from the fifth estate, I guess one could say). But a quick Google search finds a Canadian investigative journalism show like “60 Minutes,” sort of, by the same name; it dates from 1975. Then a little more perspective: The term was used in England in 1932 to refer to radio. As long as we in newspapering can just stay fourth it’s O.K. It’s not like we’re going to get on the medal podium.
