FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
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.

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."
