The case New York Times v. United States (1971) is famously known as the Pentagon Papers case. The Supreme Court's decision affirmed the no-prior-restraint doctrine, allowing the New York Times and Washington Post to publish the leaked Pentagon Papers without government censorship or punishment. This was a landmark decision in favor of press freedom, emphasizing that the government could not block publication of the documents on national security grounds without sufficient justification.
