Comment/Description

This class discusses the freedom of expression in virtual spaces, how information flows and how individuals come to understandings in democratic society in general. The focus will be on the freedom of the press in the age of Trump, bots, and fake news.

A part of the syllabus is based on Jared Schroeder’s book The Press Clause and Digital Technology's
Fourth Wave: Media Law and the Symbiotic Web (Routledge Studies in Media Law and Policy), in which he examines how we should understand protections for publishers in an era when everyone has the ability to publish and artificially intelligent communicators are increasingly influencing discourse.


In the classroom, Schroeder seeks to challenge students to critically consider the meaning of freedom of expression as well as the impact the questions that surround such rights will have in their careers and their lives.
