Independent Media: Freedom of the Press

Check out these books written by independent journalists of all stripes. These stories are courtesy of the First Amendment, which prevents the United States Government from interfering with the freedom of the press, and their independence (not affiliated with major news networks) means their reporting is untainted by financial objectives.
