"[A] well-done introduction to the underpinnings of press freedoms in the United States... The unique layout and organization of the book make it a good starting point for readers unfamiliar with the topic. This title would be a useful addition to college or university collections serving undergraduates and to public library reference collections." - American Reference Books Annual
