What have been the gravest threats to a free press over the nation’s history? And how can the past tell us how to safeguard our access to information today?

On this second episode in a three-part series on free speech, Heather and Joanne discuss the 1837 murder of abolitionist journalist Elijah P. Lovejoy, the role of Joseph Pulitzer in the creation of the independent press, and the rise and fall of the Fairness Doctrine.
