But only 28 percent say the media are\u00a0completely free\u00a0to report the news in their country.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, 67 percent of U.S. adults said it is \u201cvery\u201d important that the media can report the news without government censorship, while 26 percent said it is \u201csomewhat\u201d important. <\/p>\n<p>Education seems to play a big part in how you value freedom of the press. Americans with more education were more likely to say they value press freedom than those with less, a pattern Pew found in 23 other countries. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that kind of demonstrates that a lot of this debate is among the more highly educated people around the world,\u201d said <strong>Jacob Poushter<\/strong>, the lead author of the study and Pew\u2019s associate director of global attitudes research.<\/p>\n<p>The most interesting for TVSpy was that the survey saw big shifts in how parties perceive press freedom depending on who is in office.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of Joe Biden\u2019s term in 2024, 29 percent of Republicans said the press is completely free, compared to 42 percent in 2025 with Trump in office. Democrats shifted in the opposite direction: 38 percent said the press is completely free in 2024, compared to just 25 percent this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople definitely feel freer about press and speech in their country if the people that they like or the party that they support is in power,\u201d Poushter said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/global\/2025\/04\/24\/free-expression-seen-as-important-globally-but-not-everyone-thinks-their-country-has-press-speech-and-internet-freedoms\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/global\/2025\/04\/24\/free-expression-seen-as-important-globally-but-not-everyone-thinks-their-country-has-press-speech-and-internet-freedoms\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for the full survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey from the Pew Research Center shows that two-thirds of Americans believe press freedom is very important, but only a third say that the media is actually completely free to report the news.
