More than six decades after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, Enrich makes a compelling and alarming case that the legal protections that undergird the free press in this country are on much shakier ground than we may realize.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in rejecting the Trump administration's request to cancel the foreign aid money from USAID.
