Why can’t a reporter get in trouble for printing a story that’s critical of the government?

“The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.”

—U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)

Explanation:

Freedom of the Press-

This liberty is protected by The First Ammendement which states- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This allows the general public to express themselves without penalty from the government. This, however, does not mean one will not receive retribution from the common people who may hold varying points of opinion or belief.
