Democracy and the Mass Media: A Collection of Essays

Front Cover
Judith Lichtenberg
Cambridge University Press, May 25, 1990 - Philosophy - 410 pages
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 U.S. Constitution.
