"The liberty of the Press is the Palladium of all the civil, political and religious rights of an Englishman"
- Junius
About this Quote
This quote by Junius speaks with the value of the freedom of the press in protecting the civil, political, and spiritual rights of an Englishman. Junius is stressing the importance of the press in preserving the rights of individuals. He is suggesting that the press is the ultimate protector of these rights, and without it, they would be vulnerable to attack. Journalism is a powerful tool that can be used to inform the public, hold the federal government accountable, and expose injustices. It is an important part of an operating democracy, and without it, people would be not able to make educated choices or hold their leaders to account. Junius is recommending that the press is the supreme secure of the rights of individuals, and without it, these rights would remain in risk.
