Freedom of press:

“The security of all is in a free press”

A quote said by Thomas Jefferson

Freedom Of Press is legally defined as the right to share information, thoughts and opinions

without restraint or censorship from any authority or power.

They say that the “Pen is mightier than the sword” The Print media not only provides access
to information but also influences opinions, changes the course of events, thereby creating
history. Today the press is audio visual and much more impactful, we not only get to read
about events but also are able to see them

People in today’s world, rely on it to form opinions and create their own view of world
problems and events.
This is crucial because it paves the way for improvement and progress, by learning from
flaws.

Freedom for the press is crucial for democracy and equality.

But how powerful and influential is the press? Can we really believe everything stated by the
press?

“This is crucial because it promotes an informed citizenry by providing access to


information to everyone. Also being critical is not antagonization- it actually paves
the way for improvement and progress, by learning from mistakes,” Soriano said.
“Press freedom is needed for democracy, as it is one of its pillars.
