My latest column, with the above title, appeared in The Virginian-Pilot today. (The online version is here – not under my name category on the main opinion page.)
Some of the references mentioned in the article:
- Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index 2010
- Freedom of the Press Map of Press Freedom 2010
- John Milton’s Areopagitica
- United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights
- The Virginia Declaration of Rights
Here’s hoping you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Now back to cooking.
