Free Speech in the New Media

The essays in this volume consider questions of political and constitutional principle and theory that affect the law and regulation of content in new media that are based on digital technology. They examine a range of issues such as whether the justifications for government intervention in traditional analogue broadcasting and programme delivery continue to be persuasive; whether new approaches to freedom of expression are required in the digital era; whether there is a continued role for public service broadcasting or its equivalent and whether there is a case for the European Union's measures to secure 'Television without Frontiers'.
