Timothy E. Cook, Editor Freeing The Presses: The First Amendment In Action, Louisiana State University Press, 2005.
KF4774.F745 2005 Most Americans consider a free press essential to democratic society—either as an independent watchdog against governmental abuse of power or as a wide-open marketplace of ideas. But few understand that far-reaching public policies have shaped the news citizens receive. In an age when mass communication ranges from independent cable channels to the Internet, it is essential to assess these policies and their effects if we want the media to continue fulfilling its role. Freeing the Presses offers a path-breaking inquiry into the theory and practice of freedom of the press at a critical time in the growing overlap between modern media and political discussion. Six political communication scholars draw upon history, sociology, political science, legal philosophy, and journalism to investigate whether the freedoms and privileges given to the news media and to reporters actually produce the results we expect. Their discussion covers past, present, and future media performance and engages a wide range of provocative questions: What understanding did the founders of the Constitution have of the press? Does the legal protection given to the press actually produce more free-wheeling news? Just how independent are the news media from political and other power centers? Must we accept a scurrilous, "unlovable" press if we are to have such independence? How will freedom of the press be changed by the new heady mix of mass-, middle-, and micro-media, and of citizen news-producers? Answers to these questions receive added perspective in an introductory essay by Timothy E. Cook and commentaries by four First Amendment experts. A book that will be welcomed by scholars, students, and anyone who relies on the freedom of the press in practice, Freeing the Presses addresses the important question of how best to pursue a media system that fulfills the demands of a democratic polity. .

Esther Brimmer, Editor The European Union Constitutional Treaty: A Guide For Americans, Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins University, 2004. . KJE4443.32004.E94 2004 The European Union is the most important organization of which the United States is not a member. The United States is a member of every other multilateral body that can have a serious impact on the country. However, the United States will never be a member of the European Union. Yet, how the EU behaves has an impact on the United States and the world at large. Therefore, the United States needs to find creative ways to work with an institution that is undergoing almost continual change. One of those changes is the effort to adopt a constitutional treaty. In 2004, European leaders agreed to a constitutional treaty for the European Union. Europeans have long sought to form "an ever closer union" through the European Union and its predecessors. Spanning over three hundred pages and over four hundred articles, the constitutional treaty is long and complex, but it also may be a turning point for one of the most interesting actors in international affairs—if it is ratified by the member states. What do Americans need to know about the EU constitutional treaty? Could a closer union be built on the constitutional treaty and what would that mean for the United States? Will international change make the EU a more influential international actor? This volume offers perspectives on these questions. |
