You Can’t Print That

You Can't Print That (1928) is a book by American journalist George Seldes. In this work, Seldes criticizes censorship and the restrictions placed upon journalists, a theme that was central to his career. He reported on the rise of fascism in Italy and Spain during the 1930s and, with his wife, published In Fact, a journal focused on press criticism from 1940 to 1950. Seldes also targeted industries like tobacco and figures such as J. Edgar Hoover. His critique of censorship highlights the importance of a free press in a democratic society.12
