The fourth estate is a term that indicates the Printing Press (Newspapers) as the Fourth Estate (branch) of Government and it is one that is important to a functioning Democracy. In Britain, there were three branches (estates) of Government referenced Parliament: The House of Lords (the Lords Temporal and the Lords Spiritual - nobles and clergy) and the House of Commons.
The phrase is attributed to British politician Edmund Burke, who quoted it first time in Thomas Carlyle's book, "Heros and Hero Worship in History" (1841).

The Fourth Estate is a political force or institution whose influence is not consistently or officially recognized. "Fourth Estate" most commonly refers to the news media; especially print journalism or "The Press".
