Freedom of the press is important because people want freedom in their country. They don't want people being killed by their president and wont want their country to be in war. Freedom of the press originated when John Peter Zenger said that when a corrupt government holds power, it becomes a critical weapon. Another reason why freedom of the press is important is because it lets journalists asks questions to the president or the government to find out information. Freedom is important to a country. People fight for freedom so that they can make their country a better place. when the press interviews a famous person,for example the president, the person gets killed in their country's, although this would not happen in the United States. since, in our country we have democracy, something many countries don't.
