Freedom of expression

We are in the modern word, technology everywhere, so many information available yet it seems that we are not really given the freedom of expression. There are so many talented journalists around the world but I wonder if they can write everything people need to know.

I am writing this blog it is because I can't get over the movie "Nothing But The Truth". The protagonist is a political columnist who was unintentionally given information which matters to the national security. Since it is a risk to the national security they say, she has to reveal her source before a grand jury in order for them to take the necessary actions. However, she is holding on her principle as a journalist. And she didn't.

With this kind of movie, although fictional, which I think may happen,  I came to ask " How far can writers go? How much information should we know and write about?
