The struggle that was waged between the king and the parliament, the parliament and the people was reflected in clashes on the pages of the stove editions. In English. journalism reflected all the main aspects of the bourgeoisie revolution. Publicism was the mouthpiece of the ideologists of the revolution. They appreciated the role of the printed word for the formation of the Society opinions. Developing and participating in the revolution, Eng. Journalism fought for its right to exist and freedom of the press. (this struggle took place in the context of the struggle against the monopoly on the press). The abolition of the Star Chamber contributed to a sharp boom in the press and the elimination of state control over the print media. Sharply increased the number of authors who sought to convey their views to the general public, who, in turn, experienced a huge interest in public issues. English bibliographers and historians believe that in the period from 1641 to 1663 there were a total of 22,255 titles of printed publications (books, pamphlets, newspapers). Exemption from the royal monopoly gave more freedom to the press, but all prominent figures roared. singled out their views on freedom of the press. As the revolution developed, a number of measures were taken to place the English press in the strict framework of censorship supervision. The beginning of the struggle for freedom of the press was laid by John Milton in The Areopagitic, published in 1644. But it was not Milton and not Lilburn who did not see freedom of the press as something absolute.

In 1688, in England, there was a glorious revolution, as a result of which the now existing form of separation of powers was established. February 13, 1689 Parliament adopted the Bill of Rights, a document that still plays the role of the constitution and the law on the press.

'' The right to file petitions for freedom of parliamentary debate and parliamentary elections (for the Aristocracy and the bourgeoisie) took the first steps towards a compromise between the big bourgeoisie and the nobility.

For journalists, the ninth paragraph was the most important: "Freedom of speech, debate and everything that happens in the parliament can not be a reason for persecution, it should be examined in court and nowhere else in the parliament."
The Bill of Rights formed the basis of the English concept of press freedom. Its distinctive features are as follows:

• 1) only the parliament can regulate the work of the press;
• 2) state and church control is rejected;
• 3) the basis - economic freedom, that is, a newspaper can publish all who have ideas and money;
• 4) the decisive factor is not political, but economic;

5) the term freedom of speech first appears.

The English concept is close to the American one, but the Bill of Rights states that Parliament has the right to influence the media, and the media must obey the Parliament's decision. In addition, the Parliament appoints commissions that control the activities of the media.
