One of the most important reasons does not come quickly to mind, however, and that is how important personal privacy is to freedom of expression.

Prying by the press more difficult, and more important, than ever By Paul K. McMasters | Monday, January 02, 2006 An increasingly formidable barrier of official secrecy has made it very difficult for the press to report on covert government activities against its citizens. But such reporting has never been more important.
Too much secrecy is a challenge to justice By Paul K. McMasters | Friday, December 16, 2005 Because nearly every matter of consequence and controversy in our society eventually winds up in court, Americans have a vital interest in staying informed about how well justice is delivered.
Racy downloads become more daring -- and portable By Paul K. McMasters | Monday, December 05, 2005 Handheld devices such as cell phones and digital music players offer much in the way of features and convenience. Most also are capable of providing adult content: pornography to go.
Leaks keep the ship of state afloat By Paul K. McMasters | Friday, November 18, 2005 Without an elaborate system for circumventing secrecy and information management and manipulation, there would be no way or no one to hold accountable those entrusted with our government.
The crime of speaking ill of your betters By Paul K. McMasters | Thursday, November 03, 2005 Defenders of criminal-libel laws insist that they are needed to ensure public order and government stability.

Fear of dissent is a fear of freedom By Paul K. McMasters | Thursday, October 20, 2005 One does not have to endorse or defend anti-war or anti-military sentiments raised in peaceful protests to recognize the risk that suppressing dissenting voices poses for a vital democracy.

McMasters | Thursday, October 06, 2005 Sooner or later, the nation's most vexing disagreements over our most vital issues wind up before the Supreme Court.

Newly Formed Society of Metro Editors Offers Support By Lisa Rabasca | Wednesday, September 28, 2005 Metro, city and news editors now have their own professional organization—the Society of Metro Editors—to rely on for support and training. The national group was formed in September by several editors who attended an American Press Institute seminar for city and metro editors in early 2005.
Journalists in jail: bad news for a democracy By Paul K. McMasters | Thursday, September 22, 2005 We are much more circumspect when we threaten journalists who irritate government officials or confound government procedures. We try to follow the law and we respect the Constitution. But we still find ways to send journalists to jail.

Current Debut Week By Chad Capellman | Monday, August 08, 2005 On the Morph blog, Steven Rosenbaum weighs in on Al Gore's new network, Current.

As news looks to the stars, is it reaching new lows? By Warren Watson | Tuesday, July 26, 2005 Has celebrity news begun to crowd out legitimate news? Are editors working with a new definition of news that allows more celebrity content into our newspapers and other media? How have Michael Jackson and Kobe Bryant found their way to our front pages? Have our news values changed?
Patriot Act is Exhibit A on the risks of secrecy By Paul K. McMasters | Friday, July 15, 2005 The Patriot Act is only a fraction of the secrecy problem. Door after door in our open society is closing, generally without notice, let alone protest, as we try to secure our nation from attack.
Giving up a source or giving up freedom By Paul K. McMasters | Tuesday, July 05, 2005 Last week, the courts delivered a one-two punch to journalists’ ability to protect their sources – and to the public’s right to know about federal officials abusing a public trust in one instance and the disappearance of nuclear secrets in another.
