Book description

In this volume a group of distinguished legal and political theorists and experts on journalism discuss how to reconcile our values concerning freedom of the press with the enormous power of the media - especially television - to shape opinions and values. The policy issues treated concern primarily the extent of justifiable government regulation of the media and the justification for regulating television differently from newspapers. The volume contains some highly original and groundbreaking analyses of philosophical issues surrounding the First Amendment of the US Bill of Rights. This is a book for anyone seriously interested in the rights to free speech and expression in technologically advanced societies.

Reviews

"Lichtenberg and colleagues should be commended for giving us an updated underpinning for debate in this area." Lewis W. Wolfson, ?????

"All of the essays in Democracy and the Mass Media have something to offer....Some of the philosophical essays....are likely to benefit mass communication educators who want to include relevant philosophy topics in their graduate curricula." Journalism Quarterly
