The press isn't designated by law anywhere but dictatorships (where you have to be licensed to be a legitimate journalist.) The press is any medium that a citizen of the US is expressing themselves through.

So everyone is the press and any product used to speak cannot be regulated? This country has regulated TV broadcast and radio for longer than I've been alive so that's a pretty big change.
