Do news pieces done on the
internet have the same protections as those in print and over the air?
Few provisions of the Bill of
Rights to the U. S. Constitution stir deeper emotions today than that
guaranteeing freedom of the press. Whether viewed as a protector of the people
from the abuses of an unresponsive government or seen as a self-serving business
allowed to poke into matters better left uncovered, freedom of the press -- and
the degree of freedom that provision allows --is a most controversial issue.
