Question

1. which idea best shows black’s view of the press? the press should follow the executive’s requests. the press is mainly for informing government officials. the press must serve the people and reveal government actions. the press should publish only safe, approved news.

Explanation:

To determine Black's view of the press, we analyze each option:

• The first option (follow Executive’s requests) implies press subservience to government, which is not a typical view of a free press.
• The second option (inform government officials) misrepresents the press's role, as it primarily serves the public.
• The third option (serve people, reveal government actions) aligns with the idea of a free press holding government accountable and informing the public.
• The fourth option (publish only approved news) suggests censorship, contradicting press freedom.

Answer:

C. The press must serve the people and reveal government actions.
