Freedom of Press
Freedom of press denotes an atmosphere in which media-professionals like journalists,
reporters, correspondents, editors and columnists can work and publish what is true and fact
without fear or any threat. Freedom of press is an important precondition of a democratic and
free society. In most countries of the world, freedom of press is guaranteed by the constitution.
As an important means of public media, newspaper holds and exerts immense influence on
people. Freedom of press means newspapers can print news and views without being censored
or barred by any authority. When press enjoys freedom, it indicates that the press can publish
news and opinions on any issues without facing any restrictions and prohibitions. But it does
not mean that this freedom is absolute and arbitrary. Newspaper cannot publish whatever they
wish, rather they should publish things that are constructive for the society or the country and
should refrain from publishing any propaganda or biased news and anything that can harm
society or the state. So press must realize the meaning of the scope of its freedom, otherwise
their power can turn into an instrument of great public harm and damage.
