FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Submitted by ub on

Society will always need a free press. Investigative journalism must continue to be relevant. We need reporting that polices our institutions and uncovers truths. But important findings should not arrive in the form of short reports. Documentaries, long journal articles and in-depth reports are increasingly important.

NICKEL RIDES

Submitted by ub on

Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man died after suffering a spine injury during police custody. There apparently have been no clear reason for his arrest, and still no specific answers about what exactly happened to him.

Yesterday State Attorney Marilyn Mosby charged six cops with crimes including second-degree murder, manslaughter and assault. No only could Gray have been taken for an unnecessary rough ride, but "No crime had been committed by Mr. Gray," she added these officers "illegally arrested Mr. Gray."
