U.S. students say press freedoms go too far
<http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2005-01-30-students-press_x.htm>
One in three U.S. high school students say the press ought to be more
restricted, and even more say the government should approve newspaper
stories before readers see them, according to a survey being released today.
The survey of 112,003 students finds that 36% believe newspapers should get
"government approval" of stories before publishing; 51% say they should be
able to publish freely; 13% have no opinion.
Asked whether the press enjoys "too much freedom," not enough or about the
right amount, 32% say "too much," and 37% say it has the right amount. Ten
percent say it has too little.
The survey of First Amendment rights was commissioned by the John S. and
James L. Knight Foundation and conducted last spring by the University of
Connecticut. It also questioned 327 principals and 7,889 teachers.
