Journalism and Free Speech
اس ای بک کے بارے میں
This book explores the philosophical and historical development of free speech and critically examines the ways in which it relates to freedom of the press in practice.

Topics covered include:
- The Philosophy of Free Speech
- Journalism and Free Speech
- Press Freedom and the Democratic Imperative
- New Media and the Global Public Sphere
- Regulating Journalism
- Privacy and Defamation
- National Security and Insecurity
- Ownership
- News, Language Culture and Censorship
This book introduces students to a wide range of issues centred around freedom of speech, press freedom and censorship, providing an accessible text for courses on journalism and mass media.
