News Media are the First and Most Effective Means for Exercising Our Five First Amendment Freedoms DAVID CHAVERN, PRESIDENT & CEO | NEWS MEDIA ALLIANCE

or centuries, citizens have turned to their local news publication for local breaking and investigative news, as well as to learn about hot-button issues in their communities. In the last 15 years, with the rise of digital communications, many readers have changed their preferences to digital formats and social media over print for their news. But long before social media came onto the scene, news media have enabled us to exercise all five freedoms. As we celebrate National Newspaper Week, we are raising awareness about our five First Amendment freedoms, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution — freedom of the press, speech, religion, petition and assembly —
and the ways the news media help promote and protect those freedoms. Those five freedoms seem so basic, and we sometimes may take them for granted, but there are surprisingly few channels that allow us to exercise all five freely. Through news media, citizens can express themselves and advocate for their causes, whether they be political, religious or just personally meaningful to us; share our thoughts and ideas; petition the government; and plan assemblies. News media can be our own personal amplifier for sharing our unique perspectives, as well as a wider lens through which to view and engage with our communities. Much in the way we use social media (but more civil, in my opinion), news media offer a forum, for the people who matter most – the members of our own community. But beyond offering a means for citizens to exercise their First Amendment freedoms, news media also help protect those rights: through their role as government watchdogs. News media are

The Star of California replica clipper ship at Golden Era Productions was the site of the benefit of the dinner and auction,. The Clipper ship is not just some carpenter's idea of a ship, but is modeled after an 1800's clipper ship and is docked in a Polynesian setting that can only be described as Paradise. She is 16 feet and 50 feet broad. She sports a mahogany deckhouse and redwood deck and is a standard squarerigged, three-masted ship with the main mast extending 50 feet into the sky. With space for only 200 passengers aboard upper and lower decks - all chairs were occupied. Golden Era has a cadre of musi-
