Answer 1

The concept of freedom of the press has not always immediately extended to new types of media as they came into existence.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Freedom of press means that there would be no interference in the working of the media and spreading awareness to the people. This type of freedom is given to all forms of print and electronic media which includes the newspaper, the internet, the television and so on. But this does not mean that freedom of press is given to the new types of media whether the print or the electronic media as soon as they come into existence in the society.
