Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How one man challenged a law to license journalists in Costa Rica. In 1980, Stephen B. Schmidt, a New Yorker practicing journalism without a license in Costa Rica, challenged the national professional association of journalists to enforce their licensing law, which inevitably restricts the content of the news media. It accepted that challenge, Schmidt was prosecuted, and in a case that went to the Costa Rican Supreme Court, was given a three-month suspended sentence. The case then came before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an arm of the OAS, which voted 5 to 1 to support the Costa Rican court's decision. This book contains the full text of the one dissenting brief presented before the commission, filed by the U.S. representative, R. Bruce McColm.
Download or read book American Journalism and Fake News written by Seth Ashley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and impartial overview of the state of American journalism and news-gathering in the 21st century, with a special focus on the rise-and meaning-of "fake news." A part of ABC-CLIO's Examining the Facts series, which uses evidence-based documentation to examine the veracity of claims and beliefs about high-profile issues in American culture and politics, this volume examines beliefs, claims, and myths about American journalism and news media. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field of American journalism, including contemporary issues and historical foundations, and places modern problems such as "fake news" and misinformation in the context of larger technological and economic forces. The book illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of journalistic practices so readers can feel empowered to navigate the complex information environment in which we live and to understand the level to which various news sources can (or can't) be trusted to provide accurate and timely coverage of issues and events of import to the public and the nation. These skills and knowledge structures are necessary for any citizen who wishes to be an informed participant in a self-governing democratic society.
Download or read book Journalists and Confidential Sources written by Joseph M Fernandez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalists and Confidential Sources explores the fraught and widespread reliance by journalists on anonymous sources, whistleblowers, and others to whom they owe an obligation of confidentiality. It examines the difficulties afflicting such relationships; analyses the deteriorating "right to know" and freedom of expression frameworks; and explores solutions and reforms. The book discusses key Australian and international source protection ethics rules, statutes, court cases, law enforcement actions, and case studies. It highlights weakness in journalists’ professional practice codes governing confidentiality obligations; discusses inadequate journalistic appreciation of the importance of establishing clear terms and conditions underpinning confidentiality obligations; and identifies shortcomings in the law governing source protection. The book argues that despite source protection being widely recognised as an important ideal, source protection is under sustained assault, thereby undermining public access to information, and democracy itself. The work focusses on Australia but takes into account source protection in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. This timely contribution to the global discussion on the subject will greatly interest journalists, scholars, educators, and students especially in the areas of media law and policy, journalism, media and communication studies, and public relations; the legal fraternity; and anyone who communicates with journalists.
