B.2(ad). Freedom of the Media

The People have a Right to a free and independent media. The role of the media is to seek and report the facts and opinion. Presenting a “both sides” balance is not required.

Except as outlined in Article I, Section 2.B.2(ab), the government can’t censor media content. It may only force reporters or media outlets to disclose their sources when there is an imminent threat to life and no other reasonable means exist to discover that source.

This Right protects both professional journalists and independent media creators engaged in gathering and disseminating information to the public.
