Preferred term

Supreme Court and journalism  

Definition

  • The American constitutional guarantee of a free press works because an independent judiciary headed by the U.S. Supreme Court has enforced the promise for more than 200 years. The courts are the instrument that gives life to the First Amendment's words that “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.…” There is almost nothing that American journalists do that has not been affected by rulings of the Supreme Court. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Supreme Court and Journalism]
