Our First Amendment rights to free expression play a vital role in maintaining a healthy and participatory democracy.  We see speech and press freedom as central to our mission to foster informed and engaged communities. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

It\u2019s critical for policymakers and educators to understand how Americans view free expression rights and related issues. This is especially important in the 21st century, as technological and political forces impact free expression rights in an inclusive society. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

As part of that commitment, we’ve spent nearly two decades working on public opinion research that explores student views on the First Amendment and free speech. Our ongoing Knight Free Expression Research Series (KFX) explores how emerging generations, as well as the American public, view free speech and expression issues today. This work is essential to understanding how First Amendment principles play out in an increasingly digital and diverse America.<\/p>\n<\/div>
