gatekeeper
This term describes a position of power based on the ability to grant or deny access. While it can refer to a literal person guarding a physical entrance, it is most frequently used in professional, political, or media contexts to describe those who filter information or decide who is allowed to enter a specific social or professional circle.
In modern discourse, the term often carries a slightly negative or critical connotation, implying an unfair or restrictive barrier to entry. It suggests a bottleneck where a single individual or entity holds disproportionate influence over the success of others by acting as a selective filter.
Ý nghĩa
