Free press is very important in democratic societies, like America. It enables the exchange of ideas and information among varying social classes. If free press were to be limited you might see more limited ideas and views. Much more one sided, perhaps to benefit who limits it. Electronic media has introduced new sides to the press and the information you can gather is gathered in a different way. Many times the information gets to you quicker. This also allows people to express their ideas to everyone, rather than a small group of close knit people, so you see the ideas one person has can diffuse into other areas due to electronic media.
