Why AP is standing for your right to speak freely

The executive editor of The Associated Press says the news organization is fighting for the right of the press and public to speak freely without being targeted by the government. AP is back in court Monday in its case against the White House. The case challenges the government's decision to block AP from covering presidential events because of the news organization's style on what to call the Gulf of Mexico, which the administration calls the Gulf of America. Julie Pace says in an opinion published by AP that the case could have wider implications for freedom of speech. She points to recent government decisions taking action against other journalists because it doesn't like their reporting. She says it is AP’s duty to stand up when fundamental freedoms are at stake.
