[The Press is] the only private business protected by the constitution. It's protected for a reason. It has an obligation to be the ongoing educational tool of a democratic society. It has a responsibility to give the people the information they need on which to base the decisions they make on governing themselves."
- Bill Kovach, former Editor, Atlanta Journal Constitution, in Illusions of News, part of the Bill Moyers' series The Public Mind: Image and Reality in America
