Why is freedom of the press important in a democracy

Freedom of press is important because it allows a person to talk about the government both positive and negatively without getting a punishment.

Example:

President John Adams once put out a law where if a citizen talks bad about the government they would be punished. That violated their rights of saying what they wanted.

the main reason the us senate rejected the treaty of versailles was because "european nations wanted to punish germany"
