The Freedom of Speech of Reporters

The article Freedom's Curse talks about how cursing has become a norm in society. Stronger words are still considered to be inappropriate; however words like "crap" are no longer considered "bad words." This entire article goes back to the first ammendment of the United States' Constitution--freedom of speech, which is a theme in this article. The scholarly credible article that I found using Drexel's online database is called Fight For the First Ammendment by The Quill. It is about how reporters are biased about what they present to the public. However, on the contrary, the article also states that they have freedom of speech. Also, the article criticizes reporters because "the real heroes of American journalism don't wear capes" but are the ones who risk their lives and freedom to report the truth." The article in general states that people like the journalists should work harder to fight for their rights. When people accuse the journalists of being biased, they should fight back and say that they have freedomn of speech to say whatever they want to say. However, then the issue of honesty comes into the picture. Journalists should be as honest as they can be. This article states a two-sided arguement for the journalists.
