This book was released on 1952 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Through an exhaustive investigation of court cases, Parliamentary discussions, and official papers of such agencies as the Stationers Company, Professor Siebert has put together a lucid step-by-step history of the rise and decline of the concept of governmental control over the circulation of ideas. The period covers English practice from the time when the printing press first came into general use until the outbreak of the American Revolution. The result is a history not simply of an idea but of the application and practical working of an idea."--back cover.
Download or read book Freedom of the Press written by Nancy C. Cornwell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative yet accessible analysis of the historical development and contemporary scope of press freedoms in America. Freedom of the Press: Rights and Liberties under the Law examines the evolution of press freedom in America, a particularly relevant topic given the controversy over the role of the press in the war in Iraq, as well as the growing concentration of ownership of the press, and the impact of the Internet on traditional journalism. An opening analysis of challenges from recent developments like Internet journalist Matt Drudge's "Drudge Report" illustrates the opportunities and implications of a press operating without the traditional gate-keeping process. A historical overview of philosophical ideas and English traditions precedes an exploration into the judicial, regulatory, social, political, and economic developments that have shaped press freedoms, addressing such issues as libel, free press versus fair trial, and access to courtrooms. A chapter is devoted to the impact of new communication and transmission technology such as videophones and satellites.
Download or read book Press and Speech Freedoms in the World from Antiquity until 1998 written by Louis E. Ingelhart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-09-17 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Americans tend to take the concept and protection of free expression for granted, free press and free speech are at best only tentatively established in some nations of the world. Covering prehistoric times to mid-1998, this book provides a year-by-year report of the efforts to free the press throughout the world. Since the American concept of free speech came from England, the early chapters place a heavy emphasis on events in England, while later chapters include other nations throughout the world. Ingelhart provides a thorough overview of free press and free speech principles and the continuing effort to extend those freedoms almost everywhere.

Download or read book A History of British Publishing written by John Feather and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive history (first published in 1987) covers the whole period in which books have been printed in Britain. Though Gutenberg had the edge over Caxton, England quickly established itself in the forefront of the international book trade. The slow process of copying manuscripts gave way to an increasingly sophisticated trade in the printed word which brought original literature, translations, broadsheets and chapbooks and even the Bible within the purview of an increasingly broad slice of society. Powerful political forces continued to control the book trade for centuries before the principle of freedom of opinion was established. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the competition from pirated USA editions - where there were no copyright laws - provided a powerful threat to the trade. This period also saw the rise of remaindering, cheap literature, and many other 'modern' features of the trade. The author surveys all these developments, bringing his history up to the present age.
Download or read book Power Without Responsibility written by James Curran and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-06 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attacks the conventional history of the press as a story of progress; offers a critical defence and history of public service broadcasting; provides a myth-busting account of the internet; gives a subtle account of the impact of social media; and explores key debates about the role and politics of the media. Power Without Responsibility has become a standard textbook on media and other courses, but it has also gone beyond an academic audience to reach a wider public. Hailed as a book that has ‘cracked the canon’ by the Times Higher Educational Supplement, it has been translated into five languages. In 2019, it was awarded the International Communication Association's Fellows Book Award. This ninth edition is based on a major overhaul of its content to take account of new developments (such as generative AI) and new scholarship in the field. It also contains a new chapter on the transformed opportunity for a reformed and buccaneering public service broadcasting in the face of automated misinformation and social division, locally, nationally and internationally. This trailblazing text is essential reading for all students and scholars interested in British media and contemporary media and society.
Download or read book Distrust of Institutions in Early Modern Britain and America written by Brian P. Levack and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distrust of public institutions, which reached critical proportions in Britain and the United States in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, was an important theme of public discourse in Britain and colonial America during the early modern period. Demonstrating broad chronological and thematic range, the historian Brian P. Levack explains that trust in public institutions is more tenuous and difficult to restore once it has been betrayed than trust in one's family, friends, and neighbors, because the vast majority of the populace do not personally know the officials who run large national institutions. Institutional distrust shaped the political, legal, economic, and religious history of England, Scotland, and the British colonies in America. It provided a theoretical and rhetorical foundation for the two English revolutions of the seventeenth century and the American Revolution in the late eighteenth century. It also inspired reforms of criminal procedure, changes in the system of public credit and finance, and challenges to the clergy who dominated the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, and the churches in the American colonies. This study reveals striking parallels between the loss of trust in British and American institutions in the early modern period and the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England on Edge traces the collapse of the government of Charles I, the disintegration of the established church, and the accompanying cultural panic that led to civil war.
