The Disputed Freedoms of a Disrupted Press delves into the intricate origins, connections, and paradoxes surrounding diverse interpretations of press freedom across the globe. By examining examples from diverse countries and cultures, this book distinguishes between the universal right to free expression and the more intricate and conditional liberties claimed by news media. It explores journalists' common goals and norms in the face of polarized and disordered information channels, grappling with issues of identity and privilege, diminished public trust, and altered revenue streams. The author discusses emerging approaches to accurate, contextualized news production and advocates for journalistic autonomy to be sustained through demonstrated accountability for providing factual information about public affairs, adhering to self-regulated professional standards.

The book concludes by proposing a principled framework for enhancing the case for press protections and combating disinformation while minimizing harm. This approach necessitates publishers and editors to consider paradigm shifts and structural changes.

As a timely contribution to the field of press freedom, The Disputed Freedoms of a Disrupted Press will be an invaluable resource for advanced students and researchers seeking a contemporary understanding of journalistic practice and the evolving foundations of media law.
