Summary:
"Recent events have spotlighted the news media with stories of "fake news," celebrity cable news personalities, trolls, and attacks on journalists. The U. S. Constitution guarantees freedom of the press, which the founders considered a cornerstone of democracy. This book explores the history of this important right, how the First Amendment protects reporters (including student reporters), and what happens in places where the press is not free."--Back cover.
