FREE SPEECH 36: Michel Rosenfeld on Media Bubbles, Free Speech, and Democracy
Today's news comes from blogs, podcasts, websites in various shades of truth. How has this affected free speech? Are we all just listening to stories we agree with, or are we getting a wider range of perspectives than ever before? If there are fewer editors, are we getting access to raw truth, or more craziness? Rosenfeld is University Professor of Law and Comparative Democracy, Justice Sydney L. Robins Professor of Human Rights and Director of the Program on Global and Comparative Constitutional Theory at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. His many published works include Interpretations: Law Between Ethics and Politics; Comparative Constitutionalism: Cases and Materials; The Identity of the Constitutional Subject: Selfhood, Citizenship, Culture, and Community; Law, Justice, Democracy and the Clash of Cultures: A Pluralist Account.
