| Attacks on journalists are attacks on democracy. It has to stop.
by Emily Lang
“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.”
There has been much talk in recent days about the First Amendment and its role in preserving and defending our democracy. While I am not a constitutional scholar, I work with members of the press on a daily basis, and I have long held this particular tenant of our democracy close to my heart.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. My work in public relations is dependent on members of the press being able to freely and honestly report on the news of the day. I can see, frankly, where my continual advocacy for members of the media might seem self-serving to the cynical.
What may surprise you though is just how far back my affinity for free speech goes, and just how dearly I hold its place in our national values.
My love for journalism started early. The earliest job I can remember my mom having was at The Marlow Review, the weekly paper in my hometown.
