Description

Media Freedom explores the complex role of social media in modern democracies. By examining the history of media regulation in the US, UK and Europe, Damian Tambini develops a new theory of media freedom that can help resolve current debates about how to regulate the media.

Tambini argues that media freedom is not absolute, but rather conditional, based on a social contract between the press, broadcasting, the state and corporate power. He applies this framework to different media sectors, including the internet and social media, and makes the case for a renewed role for international human rights law standards in media governance.

This book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the role of the media in our societies and the health of our democracies. Written for students, scholars, policymakers and media professionals, Media Freedom offers a wide-ranging analysis of the media's place in modern society.
