A. Publishing information that may be damaging to national security
B. Publishing articles that are meant only to entertain, not to inform
C. Publishing stories written by people under the age of 18
D. Publishing negative opinions about elected officials

Respuesta :

The correct answer is A) Publishing information that may be damagining to national security.

Even though the first amendment does give individuals protected freedom of speech and press, it does not protect individuals who are threats to our nations national security. Any classified information leaked by the media could have significant global/international impacts. This is why any classified information that is leaked by a reporter can result in an individual being arrested.

It can also be publishing articles the encourage or are likely to lead to violence (Apex)
