Free U. S. Press !
Earned Freedom
v* t
By DR. FAYETTE COPELAND. j
Director, School of Journalism
University of Oklahoma
nomocracy, moving ponderous
IV. in its expression of the will of
the majority, is effective ?nl\
when the people arc fully inform
cil. A society which respects the
rights and the dignity of the in
dividual, which willingly pays the
cost ill wealth and in lives to pro
tort these rights and maintain
this dignity, nntst be an informed
society.
Therein lies the vital function
of the press recognized in its in
fancy: therein lies the freedom of
the press.
The Am- rican press was scarce
ly half a century old when it risk
ed its very existence to warn the
colonists of the rising tide of Hri
tish legislation limiting the self
government which had been nur
tured since the settlement of
JamestoWn and Plymouth. Its
dramatic protest was focused on
the Stamp Act. When an aroused
public forced the government to
repeal this act, the newspapers
I continued their vigil. The press
warned the people , of each aet
which jeopardized their rights;
news columns were opened to the
famous committees of correspon
dence. Step by step the newspa
pers recorded and helped crystal
lize the crowing sentiment which
was to be expressed in the Dccla.
ration of Independence.
A grateful young nation,
strengthening its government
through a new constitution', roc-"
ognized its continuing need for
an aggressive press, and vv-ote
into the Hill of Rights a clause
guaranteeing freedom of the
press. 'I hits the obligation to keep
the public informed and the free
dom to do so became inseparable
in the tradition of the American
press.
This tradition continues today.
When the newspaper records the
vote in an election, the decision
of a court, the minutes of a city
council, the acts of the legislature,
the budgets and expenditures of
public institutions, it is fulfilling
its obligation to inform the pub
lic. The publisher may express
his own opinion, he may -warn of
neglect or malfeasance in office,
he may praise sipnal achieve
ment. But final judgment rests
with the people, and their better
judgment must be based on full
and free information.
Few there are who would ques
tion the basic principle of free
dom of the press. At the same
time, many fail to recognize that
such freedom is reflected through
many, facets of our complex so
ciety. A public official who, with
ho'ds details of law violation or
expenditure of funds or the dis
cussion of institutional policy, is
thereby limiting the free flow of
information.
Often the excuse is advanced
that such matters arp "none of
the newspaper's business." No
newspaper prints news, whether
it be sensational or routine, to
satisfy its own curiosity. Nor will
a newspaper willingly submit to
the suppression or withholding of
public information.
The continued existence of our
democratic .society goes hand In
hand with a full end free flow
of Information. And the press of
America, in its colonial infancy,
earned the right and accepted the
obligation of keeping the public
informed.
