This course surveys how the press and First Amendment freedoms have played a key role in developing and sustaining the world's first constitutional democracy, the United States of America. The course examines how a selection of key court cases, legal actions, and regulations in the wake of the First Amendment have shaped the U.S. media landscape. These legal events serve as pivot points to study the journalism of the era in which they took place, providing an exploration into how law, journalism, and the news have evolved
