The fourth estate and the Constitution : freedom of the press in America

Author:L. A. Scot Powe

Summary:In 1964 the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in New York Times v Sullivan guaranteeing constitutional protection for caustic criticism of public officials, thus forging the modern law of freedom of the press. The author synthesizes law, history, and theory to explain and justify full protection of the editorial choices of the press.
