How define the freedom of press?I think that we should consider following factors.

First,the media is not controlled by the government,this is the most important thing that define the freedom of press.If the government of one country control the media,then this country don't have the freedom of press,there are still a few dictatorship countries which they totally control the media in their countries.They choose what their people can watch on TV,what their people can listen on the radio,what their people can read in the newspaper.They censor the internet contents and they use propaganda to fool their people.

Second,every ethnic people have their own voices on the media,they can freely express their opinions,they are able to own their own media,for instance,newspaper,radio or TV stations.Whatever they say,they aren't gotten into jail because of what they have said.

Third,everyone has the equal right to support for one party or another,they also have qual right to oppose against some politicians.They don't get into the prison just because they oppose against some powerful politicains.

I support the freedom of press,Preedom of press is very important as human rights and democracy for our world to become more civilazed and equitable.
