The Future of Press Freedom: Democracy, Law, and the News in Changing Times

doi:10.1017/9781009515511

This groundbreaking volume assembles an unparalleled roster of media experts and First Amendment luminaries to chart the future of press freedom in America's changing media landscape. Current and former deans of top US law schools, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, former Supreme Court clerks, and renowned scholars of law and communications offer their collective wisdom on safeguarding journalism amidst unprecedented challenges. Their contributions provide an incisive analysis of emerging threats to press freedom, from technological and economic disruptions to eroding public trust, while proposing innovative legal and policy solutions. The volume tackles cutting-edge issues like artificial intelligence in news production and the evolving definition of 'the press' in the digital age. Blending rigorous scholarship with practical insights, this essential resource equips journalists, press advocates, policymakers, and engaged citizens with expert knowledge to defend press freedom. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

‘The Future of Press Freedom is a collection of articles and essays by some of the nation’s most thoughtful and respected scholars and practitioners at the intersection of law and journalism. The collection takes as its starting point the dire economic straits in which the press finds itself, and the individual contributions offer creative solutions ranging from judicial recognition of 'press exceptionalism' in First Amendment jurisprudence to various forms of public funding for the journalistic enterprise … Recommended.’
