Freedom of Speech was the third freedom given to the citizens of The United States. It was part of the First Amendment. Our founding fathers wanted us to have this right, so that all opinions, popular or unpopular could be shared.

This supreme court case happened in 1931. Newspaper editor Jay Near attacked local officials by claiming in print that they were associated with gangsters. The Minnesota government kept Near from publishing this article under state law. The law stated that anyone who published "malicious, scandalous, and defamatory." The supreme court decided that the Minnesota law restricted the freedom of press, and that prior restraint which allowed the government to hide information from the public was determined as a violation of the First Amendment. This helped establish the principle that the government can't censor or prohibit a publication in advance with few exceptions.

This supreme court case happened in 1971 during the heat of the Vietnam war. The New York Times got a copy of an internal Defense Department report that detailed government discussions.

This places more pressure on the 4th estate as journalists need to use their powers wiser and be responsible with the knowledge.
