• Freedom of the Press Moguls

After a verbally mangled paean to [Roone Arledge]'s titanic genius-former ABC sportscaster Jim McKay says that "the words, 'the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" " (the slogan Arledge dreamt up for "ABC's Wide World of Sports") had "become, literally, part of our language"-we segue into a segment on how the Olympics makes news, and I sense a pattern emerging. In the accompanying exhibit, we see many more broad-stroke slogans: "News Helps Incite Rebellion" for the Revolutionary War-a period safely distant enough in time for popular dissent to be treated as a virtue. For abolitionism, a strangely more detached slogan: "Slavery Divides a Nation." By the onset of World War II, we are again at the point of bagginess-beyond-signification. "The Story of the Century Unfolds: War Was, a...

• Freedom of the Press Almost Impossible to Define

America's birthday. Today. 235 years old. This is a day when all Americans should .. Oh please, like anyone's reading this You're at the pool, the beach, grilling hot dogs, or just sleeping in. As you should be. This is #@$*%& America. We do what we want, when we want - and if you don't like it, Venezuela - well, too bad. We'd come down there and teach you a lesson, but really, we're going to opt for the nap. You guys figure it out. And for all those countries "figuring it out," seriously, just take a look at the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. It's all in there:

• Defining Freedom of the College Press After Hosty V. Carter

This article defines the freedom of the college press after Hosty v. Carter. Part II of this article explores the history of freedom of the press at both the college and high school levels and, in particular, the impact of the Hazelwood School District and Hosty on this freedom. Part III outlines three possible standards of review to apply when evaluating the legal status of student newspapers at colleges and universities: 1. the Hosty/Hazelwood standard, 2. the "intermediate scrutiny" standard, and 3. the standard applied to professional journalists. Part IV explains why all three standards are inappropriate in this situation, highlighting the danger of upholding the Seventh Circuit's holding in Hosty. Finally, Part V articulates and analyzes a new test that at once incorporates elemen...

• Freedom of the Press: ; the Senate Must Pass a Federal Shield Law

With WikiLeaks.org recently publishing more than 91,000 classified military reports from the war in Afghanistan, some have questioned whether now is the right time to enact a federal shield law. The media and journalism communities, as well as members of Congress who value the free flow of information, are in firm agreement: The time has never been more right. Unlike the source-to-screen approach of WikiLeaks, professional journalists do more than simply post raw data. The important role journalists play in our democracy can never be replaced by websites that publish source documents without the editorial oversight, research, analysis and balanced reporting that are so essential to public understanding and debate.
