This week I was in charge of publicizing the Times Talk. The topic was Walter Cronkite and the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is of constant conversation in a Mass Communications concentration. Hence the term communications. It is what sets our country apart and makes me proud to say that I am an American. I will forever be a supporter of Protecting everyones freedom of speech. Kayne West, while completely inappropriate, has the right to say what he said. Just not when he said it.
In Article 11 of the Declaration of Independence
"The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the precious rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law"
This weeks was the biggest Times Talk in history (not to pat myself of the back much or anything). Perhaps being a Freedom of Speech topic had something to do with it.
