Free press is a firm pillar of just society

Abraham Lincoln who was the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 till his assassination in April 1865 spoke of his nation as: "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth."

And in the words of this great man, the history of democracy got a new shot that spawned and moulded many institutions of governance as we know them today. And one of these is commonly referred to as the fourth arm of Government or Fourth Estate. That is the media. Mirror of society and barometer of social pressure.
