Freedom of Speech in the Context of Media and Democracy

Pakistan journal of international affairs, 2021

It is easy to forget the basic values at risk when it comes to a busy journalist, editor, broadcaster or media owner everyday life. This paper unfolds globally accepted democratic media law norms and best practise models. It reviews widely recognised democratic broadcasting and democratic media standards as well as standards to prohibit or otherwise regulate media content. Time limits, shrinking budgets, restricted electronic and library resources, demanding managers, challenges with distribution and harsh media legislation, not to mention news topics which are frequently worried about reporters if not openly antagonistic, are part of news rooms and among studio limitation. This is a difficult workplace and journalists may easily lose sight of the broader picture. The overall picture is that journalists' work reflects how we human beings connect and how effectively our company works. The interaction concepts that apply to each other as people are implemented and apply to the interaction between wider social entities, such as the medium and government. You can learn a lot about the status and dedication of a nation through democratic, economic and social progress by looking at respecting its people and media.

Freedom of speech in media communication. The censorship and politicisation of media institutions

Diversitate si Identitate Culturala in Europa, 2018

Starting from the classic ethical problems and reviewing the modern regulated ethical norms regarding freedom of speech and its limitations in media communication, the current paper aims to verify the following hypotheses in media communication: (1) Alerting European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) of the infringement on freedom of speech entails a positive response for journalists who fight for this right, (2) Press censorship is the result of editorial policy and the political orientation of the press, which can generate mass resignations of journalists, (3) The more politicised the media institutions, the more limited the right to freedom of speech is for journalists.

The Scope of Tolerance: Studies on the Costs of Free Expression and Freedom of the Press

This book is about the limits of tolerance and the costs of freedom of expression. The concept of tolerance and its legitimate scope lies at the center of analysis. It considers problematic expressions that require society to pay a certain price if tolerated. The analysis includes discussions on media invasion into one’s privacy; offensive speech; incitement; hate speech and Holocaust denial, and finally media coverage of terrorism. The book's primary aim is to formulate precepts and mechanisms designed to prescribe boundaries to freedom of expression conducive to safeguard democracy.

Its methodology involved extensive literature survey (books, journal and newspapers articles, classified documents) as well as interviews with experts in media ethics, constitutional law and political extremism in Israel, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.

Case Study (Ii) On Freedom Of Expression In The Context Of The Media

2016

The objective of WP7 is to study, from the perspective of EU citizenship, specific problems EU citizens face in exercising civil rights and liberties in areas which fall within the scope of EU law, but also in areas beyond the scope of EU law. In the EU legal context, fundamental rights, including civil rights, have gained not only visibility but also, arguably, significance, now that the Lisbon Treaty has made the Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding. Media freedom and policy in the EU in general has been widely researched and studied, focusing largely on the areas less directly relevant for citizens, i.e. television and radio broadcasting, media regulators, etc. This case study therefore focuses on tackling barriers in an area more relevant for individual citizens' freedom of expression, referred to as citizens' journalism. This is a new field of practice and research, where conceptual clarifications are needed and which calls for further research into the applica...

Freedom of Expression: Finding a Balance between Two Extremes

International Affairs and Global Strategy, 2020

This study deals with the concept of freedom of expression in the West and compares it with its concept in Islam. It also examines some aspects of the practical application of this right, whether in the West or in Muslim countries, and the foundations on which it is applied, and the means by which it is expressed, giving examples of modern practices and allegations which either support this right or demolish it. This research aims to discuss the two extremes of freedom of expression, as well as the opposing parties, and the conditions and criteria that apply on the basis of security measures to restrict or control or adjust or prosecute. Finally this research seeks to find a balance between the two extremes, which draws features from the Islamic religion, and emphasizes the need to deduct the most important Divine foundations to ensure justice and security for all.
