In the Constitution, it is the "Bill of Rights" (another way of referring to the first ten amendments) which gives a list of the rights that Americans are guaranteed. These include freedom of speech, freedom of the press ("press" is an old word for journalism or media), freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly.
William Lloyd Garrison was a very radical abolitionist, and many would think that his impact would be abolishing slavery. The big impact that he had, though, was the impact on the media. He represented freedom of the press and of speech. Garrison was definitely not one to censor himself or speak what people wanted to hear, laying the foundation for the growing amount of freedom that the media has now.
Well, if we didn't have freedom of speech, then we would be all bottle up and pushed down with the government's rule. We would be a communist country, I think. There would be religion forced upon us. We would probably have to have specific guide lines on what to wear. We couldn't say what we wanted to. The government would control our television and radio. The freedom of speech is what keeps this country free. With out it, we would be like North Korea or something like that.
The first Amendment to the United States Constitution is: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." What this means is that citizens have the freedom of religion, speech, and the press (the media and news). Citizens also have the freedom to peaceful assemble (i.e. a peaceful group of protesters with signs as opposed to a mob of violent people who are a danger to others or property.) and the right to petition to the government, which means collecting a large amount of signatures written by citizens.
1) Freedom of religion (the government cannot establish one or prevent you from practicing one)2) Freedom of the press (the government cannot tell the media what to print or not print)3) Freedom of speech (you can say what you want about the government)4) Peacefully Assemble (you can get people together to protest something as long as you do not become violent or threatening)5) Petition the Government for Redress (you can ask the government to make right something you feel is wrong)6) Taxation of the Press (the Government can tax newspapers)The above rights are technically not granted by the First Amendment. If you look closely you will not find the word "grant" anywhere in the First Amendment. You will however find the terms "shall make no", "prohibiting", and "abridging". All of these restrictive terms are directed at the government. The First Amendment amounts to restrictions that are placed on the government, not the granting of any rights.The reason that the First Amendment doesn't grant any rights is because all our rights belong to us and we have had our rights from the moment of our birth. Remember the "endowed by their Creator" part of the Declaration of Independence? What Jefferson was saying there is that each man is the possessor of their rights and they are not granted by any king or potentate.Thus the question becomes, what rights may the government restrict or even deny? The First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights places restrictions on the government in regards to the certain enumerated rights that we already possess.
Freedom of the press can be limited through laws that restrict certain types of content, such as hate speech or national security information. It can also be limited through government censorship or control over media outlets.

Based on the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution, the media meaning to mean the news media is protected by the freedom of speech clause in the First Amendment. This also protects everyone from censure by the government.
The Media is protected under the 1st amendment (freedom of speech and press) they have the same rights as people do, they just use it for their job.

No, they aren't the same. Freedom of Speech is allowing you to say whatever you like, and generally what you want to say. Freedom of Press is your right to the media. Anyone (if you had the means) has the right to be on T.V., or to show what you want on T.v.

William Lloyd Garrison had a huge impact on the media in the United States. He strongly represented freedom of speech for all as well as freedom of the press.
Media pluralism refers to the presence of a diverse range of media sources, outlets, and voices in a given society. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring a variety of perspectives and opinions are represented in the media landscape to promote transparency, democracy, and freedom of expression. Media pluralism is essential for preventing the concentration of media ownership and promoting a healthy, inclusive public discourse.
