The United States Supreme Court extended freedom of the press to movies in 1915.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Film was one of the first types of new media to be considered under the First Amendment, and in 1915 the United States Supreme Court ruled that "as a matter of common sense," freedom of the press did not apply to the movies. Radio received no protection upon its development, and neither did television. See 10-1: The Role of the Media in a Democracy
