How Free is the Press-'How Free is the Press' is a beautiful essay of Dorothy L. Sayers. She was the first woman to graduate from Oxford University. In this essay, she expresses her view against the misuse of the freedom of the press.

It is believed that there can not be free people without the freedom of the press. But we should consider here what that freedom is. The freedom of press means freedom from direction of censorship by the government. In this respect british press is free. It can attack at politcs. It an interfere in the foreign diplomacy. It is free to do anything. And on occasion it can be a weapon to threat the governemnt.

Above all works are the positive atitude of press. But sometime this freedom is misusedd by the press. Our democracy teaches us that the state is not the master but the servant of the people.

Advertisement is the biggest source of income for the Press or newspapers. So, the press designs its policy in the favour of advertisers. The policy of Newspapers is shaped by the interest of their owner. Above both factors causes the misuse of the Press. 

The, Sayers writers clearly agains the misreporting by the press.
