Description
Excerpt from Fleet Street Downing Street
Let me explain. Until the establishment of a Press Censorship in August, 1914, the daily paper had been free to publish what it pleased at its own risk. This risk formerly included the pillory, long terms of imprisonment and enor mous fines, which in practice meant bankruptcy or imprison ment for debt. But for over two centuries it had been no part of the duty of the Press to submit to the eye of any man what it intended to print and publish.
