Freedom of the press is specifically mentioned. If the framers had thought it enough to just say "freedom of speech" no doubt they would have, but I agree with them, that the press is too important to leave to chance. It must be stressed that it is protected (even extra protected)- why? Because as the 4th estate it is a check on government in a way no individual can be- our framers knew that.
