  Freedom of the press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freedom of the press (or press freedom) is the guarantee by a government of free public speech for its citizens and their associations, extended to members of news gathering organizations, and their published reporting.
The notion of the press as the fourth branch of government is sometimes used to compare the press (or media) with Montesquieu’s three branches of government, namely an addition to the legislative, the executive and the judiciary branches.
The notion of "freedom of the press" that later was enshrined in the United States Constitution is generally traced to the seditious libel prosecution of John Peter Zenger by the colonial governor of New York in 1735.

TERENCE SMITH: In the nation's capital, two relatively new free papers have hit the streets: Express, a commuter daily spun off by the 130-year-old Washington Post two years ago, and the Examiner, a six-day-a-week paper started last year by Denver multi-billionaire Philip Anschutz.
I think some of the fear of these papers is based on a false premise that it's an either-or proposition, that either the rise of these newspapers somehow means the decline of a major daily, you know, or that we're dumbing down the news.
