Newspaper Lecture(J1)

Newspapers were a huge medium, and the fact that they started in the American colonies and are still around today is amazing. If newspapers had never been invented then we might not have the first amendment which is one of the most important. When John Peter Zenger criticized the royal governor not only did he help found the first amendment but his case helped the jury decide that the truth was the ultimate defense and that's what set America apart from all the other countries. I feel that without newspapers there would be very little freedom in our country. I'm very glad that newspapers were started because we wouldn't be able to write,say or practice any of our ideas and beliefs and who would want to live in that kind of country?
