The government took the newspapers to court to try to prevent further publication of the Pentagon Papers. This legal principle is called:

The movie focuses on the Washington Post, but this newspaper was the first to publish the Pentagon Papers:

In the Pentagon Papers case, the U.S. Supreme Court:
