“In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.

The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the public.”
- Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, 1971
