VIEWS FROM A FIRST AMENDMENT EXPERT

This interview concludes a four-part series on free press. 

PART IV A First Amendment lawyer details the scope of the liberties we have, including those that scare us.  

Gabe Rottman works with the First Amendment Clinic in The School of Law at the University of Virginia. He also serves as an officer in the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which offers 24-hour support to journalists when they have questions or concerns about their rights. https://www.rcfp.org/

We are left with the question of whether we really want to keep our Constitutional freedom.
