Book excerpt: This history of the free flow of information begins with an examination of the role and responsibility of international information and permissible restraints on freedom in a free society. The author traces the development of freedom of expression, examines its applicability to international information and the evolution of its fundamental principles in the United Nations. He also analyzes the problems and challenges this freedom poses to societies, and the validity of criticisms against prevailing information structures. He concludes with practical steps the United States could take to establish a new paradigm of free flow of information. These recommendations seek to draw a delicate balance between fundamental libertarian principles, societal concerns, and global realities. ISBN 0-313-25235-1 : $32.95.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 1,7, Manipal University (Manipal Institute of Communication), course: Global Communication, language: English, abstract: Every age has its own dreams and ideals. In our time, the global network society is at the very front of utopias. The joyous spirit of informalism, going hand in hand with free markets, open horizons and communication without any borders – what a world this would be! Amongst all concepts that could contribute massively to this goal, one stands out: the 'free flow of information'. Supposedly a good thing, it has been controversial ever since, though. Not in terms of general approval that information should be free and accessible for everyone but in the light of different political ideologies. The west understands 'free flow of information' as lack of government controls, while the so-called 'Third World' as well as some states of the former Soviet Union and others stress a 'balanced and unbiased' flow to and from the Third World. In between these opinions, well-known organizations such as UN and UNESCO try to negotiate, helped by non-governmental instances. In order to critique this 'flow of information' more purposefully, I thought of a few questions I'd like to find answers to while examining the whole concept. The questions are: How much is the policy shaped by the rituals of the mass media? Why are politicians so keen and intense about being reporting on in the electronic media, the talk shows, the news? Is there some kind of 'resistance of the political', in a way that the traditional decision-making and communication patterns happens but is only overshadowed by the excitement of the actual journalism? Do politicians want to be protected from the mass-media spectacle at all – and, if so, how can they, really? Finally, how can the political class force their way of reporting on the journalists and news agencies?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written in a clear and accessible style that would suit the needs of journalists and scholars alike, this encyclopedia is highly recommended for large news organizations and all schools of journalism." —Starred Review, Library Journal Journalism permeates our lives and shapes our thoughts in ways we′ve long taken for granted. Whether we listen to National Public Radio in the morning, view the lead story on the Today show, read the morning newspaper headlines, stay up-to-the-minute with Internet news, browse grocery store tabloids, receive Time magazine in our mailbox, or watch the nightly news on television, journalism pervades our daily activities. The six-volume Encyclopedia of Journalism covers all significant dimensions of journalism, including print, broadcast, and Internet journalism; U.S. and international perspectives; history; technology; legal issues and court cases; ownership; and economics. The set contains more than 350 signed entries under the direction of leading journalism scholar Christopher H. Sterling of The George Washington University. In the A-to-Z volumes 1 through 4, both scholars and journalists contribute articles that span the field′s wide spectrum of topics, from design, editing, advertising, and marketing to libel, censorship, First Amendment rights, and bias to digital manipulation, media hoaxes, political cartoonists, and secrecy and leaks. Also covered are recently emerging media such as podcasting, blogs, and chat rooms. The last two volumes contain a thorough listing of journalism awards and prizes, a lengthy section on journalism freedom around the world, an annotated bibliography, and key documents. The latter, edited by Glenn Lewis of CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and York College/CUNY, comprises dozens of primary documents involving codes of ethics, media and the law, and future changes in store for journalism education.

Download or read book Transatlantic Jurisdictional Conflicts in Data Protection Law written by Mistale Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at transatlantic jurisdictional conflicts in data protection law and how the fundamental right to data protection conditions the EU's exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Governments, companies and individuals are handling ever more digitised personal data, so it is increasingly important to ensure this data is protected. Meanwhile, the Internet is changing how territory and jurisdiction are realised online. The EU promotes personal data protection as a fundamental right. Especially since the EU's General Data Protection Regulation started applying in 2018, its data protection laws have had strong effects beyond its territory. In contrast, similar US information privacy laws are rooted in the marketplace and carry less normative heft. This has provoked clashes with the EU when their values, interests and laws conflict. This research uses three case studies to suggest ways to mitigate transatlantic jurisdictional tensions over data protection and security, the free flow of information and trade.
Download or read book Many Voices One World written by International Commission for the Study of Communication Problems and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980 and now back in print, Many Voices, One World came out of hundreds of international studies and proposed reforms for global communication media to ensure a free flow of information. Prepared by the distinguished MacBride Commission--and frequently referred to as the MacBride Report--it criticized corporate control of media flows and suggested ways to make media production accessible in poorer countries. Beginning with the right of individuals and nations to communicate, this report tackled problems related to government controls, censorship, one-way flows of information, cultural dominance, and commercialization of the mass media. It called for more voices, more freedom of expression, and the protection of journalists' rights. Still widely taught and cited, the MacBride Report is a key work in the history of communication that continues to be relevant today.
Download or read book International News Agencies written by Michael B. Palmer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International news-agencies, such as Reuters, the Associated Press and Agence France-Presse, have long been ‘unsung heroes’ of the media sphere. From the mid-nineteenth century, in Britain, the US, France and, to a lesser extent, Germany, a small number of agencies have fed their respective countries with international news reports. They informed governments, businesses, media and, indirectly, the general public. They helped define ‘news’. Drawing on years of archival research and first-hand experience of major news agencies, this book provides a comprehensive history of the leading news agencies based in the UK, France and the USA, from the early 1800s to the present day. It retraces their relations with one another, with competitors and clients, and the types of news, information and data they collected, edited and transmitted, via a variety of means, from carrier-pigeons to artificial intelligence. It examines the sometimes colourful biographies of agency newsmen, and the rise and fall of news agencies as markets and methods shifted, concluding by looking to the future of the organisations.
