Educational Conference Presented by Allied Educational Foundation September 18, 1979 GEORGE BARASCH, Chairman HONORABLE EDWARD THOMPSON, Moderator Speakers: Floyd Abrams Cahill, Gordon & Reindel Murray Baron President of Accuracy In Media Questions: The Audience Conclusion: Moderator MR. BARASCH: I welcome you this evening to a very special con- ference dealing with current trends in the transmission of information by the news media. The establishment of a free press was based upon the belief that con- troversy is vital to public information and creates a system of justice in which exchange of views is the heart and soul of freedom. We believed in the dignity of man and the right to pursue life without fear and tyranny. Communications and the Law, Vol. 2, No. 1, Winter 1980, © Earl M.
