Amos (law, U. of London, England), Harrison (public communication, U. of Sheffield, England), and Woods (law, City U. London, England) present nine chapters that explore the relationship between the media (broadcast, print, and electronic) and freedom of expression, primarily within the UK regulatory framework. The authors assess the value of particular regulatory approaches as they relate to key questions of the role of media in a democracy, including discovery of truth and error, legitimate political action, government by discussion, the public sphere, individual autonomy, enabling public deliberation, and being free from government corruption and intimidation.
