RE: Free Speech - I know
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I think freedom of speech and freedom of press are closely related, but not exactly the same.
Freedom of press involves access to information which should be public.
Freedom of speech means free of persecution for stating opinions and facts (with minor exceptions for harmful lies and threats).
Japan and South America are good examples where freedom of press is restricted but speech is relatively free.

I think freedom of press takes freedom of speech one level up, and in some places is the only way to get the message out to the world as there's only so much FB and Twitter can do.
Thanks for reblog. Appreciate it
