News Journal: Free Press

It is evident that the concept of "free press" is used in the op-ed article for my news journal. This can be concluded due to the significant amount of revealing information about the cheating that is occuring in Harvard. The fact that the author is very critical of the "higher power" demonstrates the abilitly to have free press. Without free press, the author would be sructinized for tarnishing Harvards prestige by saying that it is a cheating environment. Because free press is part of our rights, the author was able to openly express her opinion without worry of getting punished. If free speech didn't exist, the university would benefit in this case. Without free speech, the students wouldn't be able to reveal what exactly is going at Harvard, therefore the University would not have to worry about its reputation being ruined.
