The question of how much freedom the press should enjoy has been
debated throughout American history. In 1942 an impartial
commission was formed to study mass communication, evaluate the
performance of the media, and make recommendations for possible
regulation of the press. This book is the general report of that
commission.
The Commission on Freedom of the Press began with the premise that
freedom of the press is essential to political liberty; it is
unique among the freedoms, for it promotes and protects all the
rest. At the same time, the commission feared the concentration of
media control into fewer and fewer hands, stating, "It [is]
imperative that the great agencies of mass communication show
hospitality to ideas which their owners do not share." The
commission concluded that any regulation of the media must come
from within, not from the government.
