What important news happened on April 1 1962?
James Hanratty, who was found guilty of the A6 murder of Michael Gregsten in 1961, was hanged at Bedford prison. The case was highly controversial at the time, as there appeared to be genuine grounds for doubt over the safety of the conviction. The case undoubtedly increased public concern about the death penalty in the UK which was abolished in 1965.

What social issue did Jacob Riis' photographs bring attention to?
Jacob Riis belonged to a group of journalists and photographers who, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, sought to draw attention to the plight of the impoverished in American cities. Working primarily in New York, Jacob revealed through his photographs the desperate existence endured by poor Americans and recent immigrants. His work brought the realities of child labor, unsafe working conditions, inadequate housing, and economic exploitation to a wider public who increasingly called for greater reforms to labor laws, housing codes, and workplace safety regulations.

Which Indian tribe created a written language?
One of the first was created by Sequoyah, the leader of the Cherokee nation. It contained 85 characters, representing the syllables of the Cherokee language. It was used as far back as 1828, in the "Cherokee Phoenix," the first newspaper published by what were then called Indians (and today are called Native Americans). The newspaper was bilingual-- English and Cherokee. I enclose a link to some information about it, which includes images of what written Cherokee looked like.

What is the role of a free press in America?
A free press is the only press with real responsibilities to anyone outside of the state, "free" meaning not controlled by the government and able to report without censorship. The free press is responsible for researching and reporting to the public on trends, crime, foreign events, and any notable occurrences within its own government. The duties of the press are fairly hard to define because they are not officially laid down anywhere.
Watching the GovernmentA free press should be able to interview government officials, access some or most government documents, and generally be a critical and objective observer of the government's activities. In the United States, the press has long been thought of as an extra check on government power because of its ability to investigate and report on exactly what the government is doing. This does not necessarily mean trying to catch the government doing something wrong or incriminate officials, but it means not sugarcoating or ignoring questionable activities either.
Most of the press's time is spent reporting on local, national and international events, such as crime, political and diplomatic occurrences (such as elections, the passing of treaties and meetings of politicians), holiday events and catastrophic weather. This is important because it is the main way people become aware of what is going on in the world outside of their immediate areas.
Journalists and the press sometimes find information of a scandal or occurrence that for some reason has not been fully revealed to the public or may be completely unknown. On these occasions, the press has a responsibility to investigate the story and, if it impacts the public at large, to publish it.
In the same way that the press is expected to spread information that significantly impacts the public, it can also be argued that it has a responsibility to withhold information that would be especially damaging to a person family, or organization if that information is not important enough. "Important enough" means that not sharing the information would have a very detrimental effect on someone or a group. There are a lot of complex ethical questions faced by the press concerning decisions about whether to share information.

Why is the role of journalists and photographers so important during wartime?
During wartime civilians have no way of knowing what is going on without someone telling them. We aren't actually there seeing the war, which is why journalists and photographers go overseas. Journalists do this to inform and keep us updated with what is going on, photographers go to offer proof to what the journalists write, because without pictures all we have is the journalist's account. Also some free lance photographers do it to simply make money and to have an account of the war as it progresses.

What was in impact of Yellow Journalism in US during World War 1?
Yellow journalism, in short, is biased opinion masquerading as objective fact. Moreover, the practice of yellow journalism involved sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of boosting newspaper sales and exciting public opinion. It was particularly indicative of two papers founded and popularized in the late 19th century- The New York World, run by Joseph Pulitzer and The New York Journal, run by William Randolph Hearst.
John Peter Zenger was the printer of the New York Weekly Journal, charged of seditious libel by the corrupt royal Governor Cosby for printing in his newspapers the crimes and corruptions of the Governor, although they were the truth. The jury judged him to be not guilty, and this was the landmark of freedom of the press for America.
