| Summary: | This document brings together news media and constitutional law specialists with past and present government officials to define the areas of conflict and the operative constitutional rules and to devise ways to maximize the flow of information to the public without destructive confrontations between the media and government. Contents include: "The News Media and the Government: Clash of Concentrated Power," which lists guides for the news media and the government to resolve differences; "The Pentagon Papers/Times Adversaries Agree," which suggests that the Supreme Court was called upon because the press and government had not exercised the necessary restraint or responsibility; "The Human Factor," Which argues that the apparatus of public information cannot overwhelm the skilled performance of a responsible press; "Institutional Revolt," which cites surveys indicating public mistrust of complex and distant institutions of power both in government and the news media; and "Press and Government: Aspects of the Constitutional Position," which argues that power in the press and government is too concentrated.
