Freedom of the Press

As the Argentinean president "reforms" media in what has been speculated as a plan to silence critics that might harm her campaign, I am troubled about issues of freedom of the press.

I am a Communications major with a journalism emphasis about to graduate in December. I have to wonder about whether or not freedom of the press is still a right in practice or just in law.

Different news organizations have reputations as being liberal or conservative. There are issues of media censorship. 

I aspire to be a journalist who holds to my beliefs without violating my unbiased integrity. I am driven to make sure freedom of the press continues in our nation. I believe that the issue of freedom of the press impacts almost every area of our lives including religion, politics and society.
