Napoleon never had the reputation of actively controlling or muzzling the Press. But in France, his Chief of Police would summon an editor-in-chief in cases where a paper printed opinions that were too critical. It didn't happen often, however: Napoleon was very popular in France through most of his reign, and he probably realized that positive newspaper stories were good for his public image. So in that sense he probably saw benefits in conrolling the press.
