Speaker Graham, Fred P.
Date CreatedJanuary 11, 1980
Description

Reviewing the Supreme Court's decision in Herbert v. Lando, Graham describes the importance of protecting the First Amendment for both journalists and the public. Citing the Watergate scandal, he argues from the journalists' perspective on the court's recent decision. He also flags the record of court closings as evidence of a failure of the legal system in curbing the cost of defending the First Amendment for journalists and other advocates.
