## Resource

A First Amendment-focused journalism team, launched in 2022 by The Tennessean and nonprofits, just won top honors for exposing federal funding cuts to public broadcasting, hidden immigration records in Tennessee, and student newspaper censorship. Covering everything from drag performance bans and “Tennessee Three” protests to government press suppression in Florida and retaliation in Arizona, this quartet of reporters is relentlessly holding power accountable—proving that the First Amendment isn’t just theory, but a vital lifeline for everyday voices.
