Freedom of the press is one of the guarantees of the First Amendment along with speech, religion, assembly and petition. Without this protection the press could not criticize the government. But nearly 225 years since the Bill of Rights went into effect, the government isn't the biggest challenge to press freedom in the U.S. It's economics. That's according to veteran journalist Gene Policinski. He's the chief operating officer of theNewseum Institute and senior vice president of the institute's First Amendment Center. He was one of the founding editors of USA Today. Policinski joined Dakota Midday and discussed the future of the news media.
