Abstract: Free press principles established by the U. S. Supreme Court affect the output of U. S. media, mainly through interpretations of the First Amendment. Far more complicated than the Amendment are the principles established by case law. This article contains four classroom decision‐making exercises based on four recent Supreme Court decisions. It also presents discussion questions raised in the cases as stimuli for discussions of conflict between individual and media liberties versus protection of society.
