The Future of Press Freedom: Scholars Series

This series features short contributions from a select group of multidisciplinary scholars who have long studied and written about matters related to freedom of the press. These pieces draw together observations and theories from each author’s body of work to illuminate how we might better define and protect the core democracy-enhancing press functions.  

This series is part of the Institute’s The Future of Press Freedom: Democracy, Law, and the News in Changing Times research project led by visiting scholars RonNell Andersen Jones and Sonja R. West.
