THE CASE 'NEW YORK TIMES'. THE PROS AND CONS OF FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

The article focuses on the concept of freedom of the press in relations to the case of the disclosure by the "New York Times" magazine of secret report on the involvement of the U.S. in Indochina. It states that the magazine disclosed excerpts of the report commissioned by Robert McNamanra in 1967-1968 as defence secretary, which shows that the government was much interested in their share of global power than the consequences for South Vietnamese. It says that the U.S. Government called to stop the publication which they argued could affect the national security and international relationship with other governments. However, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to allow the publication of other excerpts wherein the Supreme Court Justices argued that it is within the freedom of the press.
