OPINION: Free press is good for democracy

Newspapers compile and publish all sorts of information. School photos and 4-H award stories that we post on our refrigerator door and in our scrapbooks. Advertisements that help us decide what to buy. Friday night sports highlights. Cartoons. Obituaries. Coupons. Classifed ads. And much, much more.
