Listen "The Free Press vs. National Security: A False Choice? with Gary Pruitt"

Episode Synopsis

AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt argues that a free and independent press is fundamental to a functioning democracy. It differentiates democracy from dictatorship; separates a free society from tyranny. Governments who try to set up a situation where citizens think they must choose between a free press and security are making a mistake that will ultimately weaken, not strengthen them. It’s not a real choice. It’s a false choice. Series: "The Goldman School - Berkeley Public Policy" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 25945]
