The First Amendment - Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for
a redress of grievances.
We, as U.S. citizens
and photojournalists, are protected by five First Amendment freedoms.
It seems we often take
these freedoms for granted. We must know our right to exercise our voices; to
speak what’s on our minds; and to not worry about being prosecuted by our government.
These rights allow
us to say just about anything that is on are minds. The freedom of the press
also allows American photojournalists to cover our own citizens and government
in a truthful way, even if that way is negative.
