You’ve heard the media desribed as the “Fourth Estate” but what was the Second Estate? That was in, in the Estates-General of Medeval France, the nobles. The First Estate was the clergy and the Third Estate was the common people.
The first reference to the Fourth Estate I heard of was in a journalism class at Temple University. Our professor, Doug Perry more accurately described journalists as “baggy-pants newspaper reporters.
I think Professor Perry was spot on.
