About

Bill of Rights at 225

This issue of the Gateway Journalism Review examines the changes in America’s charter of freedom over the past 25 years. The Bill of Rights turned 225 on Dec. 15, 2016. The issue focuses on the First Amendment, especially the way in which the revolution of communications technology has changed our lives, put magical devices of connection in our pockets, separated us into warring camps, intruded on our privacy and changed our democracy. The stories are written by publisher William H. Freivogel.
