The Great Principle Underlying the Federal Government's Relationship with the Press

The great principle underlying the federal government's relationship with the press is the prohibition against prior restraint, meaning that federal officials cannot:

A) arrest journalists, under any circumstances, while they are doing their work.
B) write pointed, angry letters to newspaper or broadcast editors to complain about news coverage.
C) censor or block publication or broadcast of news reports.
D) warn news operations that their access to key policymakers will be removed if they print or broadcast unflattering stories.
