The First Amendment Center, in partnership with the National Press Club, Freedom Forum and the American Society of News Editors, will release results of its 2011 State of the First Amendment Survey on Tuesday, July 12, at 12:30 pm in the National Press Club Conference Rooms.

The presentation will be given by Ken Paulson, ASNE president and First Amendment Center chief executive officer. The authoritative survey, which has explored public perspectives on First Amendment freedoms for the past 14 years, will focus on public attitudes toward a free press, the credibility of various news media and the rights of student news organizations.
