In the following sentence, how many places with passive voice are there?

English Language & Usage Asked on July 12, 2021

Consider the sentence:

The matter reported by the news is prohibited by the law.

"is prohibited" is passive voice here, but what about "reported by the news"? Is it passive voice too?

I’m thinking if the phrase "the matter reported by the news" is a shortened version of "The matter, which is reported by the news". The latter is passive voice I suppose.
