A free press is the constitutional guardian of self-government — the institution the First Amendment elevates precisely because the press performs a structural function in maintaining governmental accountability to the people. The reporter shielding a source, the newspaper publishing classified documents, the journalist seeking access to immigration hearings — all exercise First Amendment rights the constitutional warrior must understand and defend completely.
The Constitutional Free Press Warrior is Volume XLI of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full free press constitutional landscape: the reporter's privilege — Branzburg's rejection of an absolute privilege, the federal common law privilege, the balancing test most circuits apply, and state shield laws; prior restraints — Near v. Minnesota, the Pentagon Papers standard, and injunctions against publication; the First Amendment right of access — Richmond Newspapers, Globe Newspaper, and the Press-Enterprise test; newsgathering rights — government secrecy classifications, the Espionage Act applied to journalists, and the Shield Act debate; journalist subpoenas and source protection practice; and the digital press — the First Amendment status of bloggers and online journalists.
