This panel will examine the relationship between the speech and press clauses of the First Amendment and the ability of a democracy to govern itself effectively. Using specific examples from their own experiences, a distinguished group of journalists, media lawyers and judges will discuss the many ways in which democracy depends on its citizens’ right to speak and write freely on issues of public importance and concern.
