SYNOPSIS
The intersect between media and law is looked at through devoted discussions of socio-legal issues involved in today’s diverse media landscape. Everything from traditional mass media, to increasingly important social networking sites are explored to understand issues around free speech and censorship, in the modern day. The chapters in this volume explore free
speech and the control thereof from both a political as well as cultural
lens. These topics have once again moved center stage in scholarly as
well as popular discussions on what must, should, and should not be said
in the public sphere of ideas, opinions, and tastes. In a world of
alternative facts, fake news, gender politics, company self-censorship,
edited art, hate speech, and career-ending tweets, the chapters in this
volume make a timely contribution.
