Freedom of the press. The right to circulate opinions in print without censorship by the government. Americans enjoy freedom of the press under the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Hope that helps.
I know that. Free press is free thought on paper that the person can free distribute to whomever will read his work.
But some reference to show this as an intention by the Forefathers would be great. I’m arguing against a liberal, who thinks a free press means a press that is formed by a select group of people, that we call journalists. He thinks it doesn’t apply to people in general.
