My understanding is that the fourth estate follows from the first, second and third estates of the états généraux (Estates General), which was the king's advisory body that existed in France prior to 1789. The three estates were the clergy, the nobility and everyone else. Journalists became the fourth. See ya Dennis Hi Theo and Jeff,
