The First Amendment

-What is the significance of the First Amendment with speech and press?
When it comes to mass media, the First Amendment is extremely important. It makes sure that we have freedom of speech, religion, and ability to write whatever we want in the press. This is a something that most people take for gradate, but we do not realize that we are one of the few countries that have this ability to have free speech.
In the media, since people have the ability to write whatever they want whether is it offensive or not, sometime causes confrontation between many. The journalist may think that something is okay to publish in the newspaper, however the public may think otherwise.
If we did not have the first amendment, it would greatly change people’s views on our government; because the media has the ability to say their personal opinion on certain issues making it possible to manipulate us. I believe that the first amendment is extremely necessary because we would not be informed as much as we are today; however, sometimes people can push it too far.
