Description

James Madison's early version of the First Amendment asserted that freedom of the press should be inviolable as "one of the great bulwarks of liberty." Now, over 200 years later, the Internet and 24-hour cable news outlets deliver news and commentary to the public in real time from thousands of sources, making the protections of the First Amendment more complicated. Media and American Democracy will help your students understand freedom of the press and the essential role and responsibility of the media in a free society so they can navigate through the media maze. - from Amzon
