Fast Forward 50 Years: Protecting Uninhibited, Robust, And Wide-Open Debate After New York Times Co. V. Sullivan, Amy Sanders Dec 2013

Fast Forward 50 Years: Protecting Uninhibited, Robust, And Wide-Open Debate After New York Times Co. V. Sullivan, Amy Sanders

Amy Kristin Sanders

Our ability to communicate instantly across geographic borders and to connect with old friends using social media has changed the way we think about community, moving us from a simple geographic analysis to a much more difficult determination. The speed with which messages travel can amplify the amount of damage to reputation by increasing the number of people who come into contact with defamatory speech. As a result, the traditional rules of defamation law must change to accommodate changes in how we communicate. The Internet has complicated the distinction between public and private figures in modern defamation law—a distinction critical …

One Journalist, Two Roles: What Happens When Journalists Also Work As Media Coordinators?, Jonathan Peters Dec 2013

One Journalist, Two Roles: What Happens When Journalists Also Work As Media Coordinators?, Jonathan Peters

Jonathan Peters

Individuals interacting with society possess multiple roles, and yet the study of journalistic role conceptions, based on the assumption that role conceptions influence journalistic outputs, has not addressed the idea that journalists possess multiple roles inside and outside the field. A peculiar arrangement in Missouri is the appointment of journalists to serve as media coordinators for the courts. Using a symbolic interactionism framework, we explore how media coordinators experience this duality of roles.

Network Nepotism And The Market For Content Delivery, Tejas N. Narechania

Tejas N. Narechania

The Federal Communications Commission has officially launched its third attempt to impose network neutrality rules on Internet traffic. But before the Commission could release its proposed regulations, they leaked to the Wall Street Journal and were quickly embroiled in controversy. Chief among the objections was the possibility that the new regulations would allow broadband carriers, such as Verizon, to prioritize certain traffic, thereby creating an Internet “fast lane” that could be dedicated to select content, websites, or applications. Of particular concern was the possibility that carriers would use this power to accord special treatment to other members of its corporate …

In January 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit struck down the FCC's 2010 Open Internet Order, which contained the Commission's net neutrality rules.

The first is predominantly legal: By adopting the …
