"In this handbook, academics and researchers, seasoned and young examine questions related to communication rights in general as well as to communication law and ethics in particular. The volume contains works that analyze what the essential and universal elements of communication rights are and where their limits lie, what freedoms and duties they entail and how they shape the role of both citizens -as individuals and as a collective- and the press- as individuals, collectives and a democratic institution- in contemporary societies. This volume pools efforts to present all kinds of perspectives in the field and representing voices from different parts of the world through the authors that have contributed to this volume. While most works analyze our current reality, often shaped by modern communication technologies in general and the internet in particular, others take a more foundational approach and ask more perennial questions related to the very nature of communication rights and their ethical and legal justification"-- Provided by publisher.
