Examples of publish in a Sentence
We have to accept that newspapers, magazines, can publish things that are offensive to some, as long as it's within the law, that's what we should defend. The politicians, my job, is not to tell a newspaper what to publish or what not to publish. My job is to uphold the law that they can publish things that are within the law.

There is no political activity, there are no statements issued by the pro-India or pro-freedom leadership, so local media doesn't have to make any choices what to publish and what not to publish, covid-19 situation has given breathing space to media in Greater Kashmir, but when this pandemic passes and political activity resumes, we have to see how the media local media behaves.

That didn't stop this writer from selling it to The Atlantic. It's sad that The Atlantic would stoop to this low standard of journalistic integrity.
That's what we should defend. The politicians, my job, is not to tell a newspaper what to publish or what not to publish. My job is to uphold the law that they can publish things that are within the law.
