The illusion of the free press
Title The illusion of the free press / John Charney Author Charney, John (Author) Issue First published Publication Oxford ; Portland, Oregon : Hart Publishing, 2018 Scope xxii, 185 stran ; 24 cm Country United Kingdom ; United States Language English Note Obsahuje bibliografii, bibliografické odkazy a rejstřík Annotation "This book explores the relationship between truth and freedom in the free press. It argues that the relationship is problematic because the free press implies a competition between plural ideas, whereas truth is univocal. Based on this tension the book claims that the idea of a free press is premised on an epistemological illusion. This illusion enables society to maintain that the world it perceives through the press corresponds to the world as it actually exists, explaining why defenders of the free press continue to rely on its capacity to discover the truth, despite economic conditions and technological innovations undermining much of its independence. The book invites the reader to reconsider the philosophical foundations, constitutional justifications, and structure and functions of the free press, and whether the institution can, in fact, realise both freedom and truth. It will be of great interest to anyone concerned in the role and value of the free press in the modern world."--Cover Výrazy tezauru tisk * svoboda tisku Klasifikační znaky 3226 - Komunikace 1236 - Práva a svobody ISBN 978-1-50990-887-5 Copy count 1, currently available 1 URL The illusion of the free press (náhled do publikace / Google Books) Document kind Monografie
