The First Amendment allows the right to freedom of speech, religion, petition, and most importantly (to journalists) freedom of the press. Free press gives journalists the right to release news information without intrusion by the government.
Journalists cannot be forced to publish any news and information they do not want to. Under the first amendment the US government cannot force them to.
Journalists are given the right to have free access to all sources of information and release that information if relating to public interest. Journalists also have the right to refuse any instruction if it violates the policy of their company. The rights American journalists have far surpass those in other countries, because of The First Amendment.
