The foremost and most obvious significance of the first amendment with speech and press is the right to free expression. The first amendment strongly stresses free expression and since that is such a powerful bond with the media, the amendment and the press are significantly linked to one another. The first amendment protects the media and allows for a “market place of ideas” as John Milton said.
It definitely is beneficial to some extent because there is an endless pool or opinions and views out there. Nevertheless, it can cause many problems because people might feel that they are protected no matter what they do or say even if it meant saying something wrong that can jeopardize someone else’s life.
