First Amendment without Freedom of the Press

I believe that each of the freedoms protected by the First Amendment are extremely important to us. Although, if I had to chose to live without one of these freedoms, it would be freedom of the press. I couldn’t imagine myself giving up my freedom and privilege to speech, religion, assembly and petition. Freedom of speech shapes the lives of many. It’s what gives individuals a voice and a way to communicate decisions and opinions. With the right to petition, individuals have the freedom to express their views on government and even ask for a change. Freedom of religion, is closely related to the separation between church and state, which is a concept very important to myself. Each freedom has its own significance, but if I had to choose, I could live without freedom of the press.
