Precisely because freedom of expression varies across countries and cultures and across media types, freedom of expression is discussed across a spectrum of geopolitical and technological contexts. 
Robert Trager and Donna L. Dickerson investigate the tensions between censorship and expression, to reveal how complex, culturally charged, and historically deep these tensions can be. 
Discussions are typically framed around social issues and set in contexts that allow readers to see connections between expression and commerce, politics, economics, class, race, and gender. The new frontier of digital communications, especially the Internet, is revealed as the latest battleground for law and social policy.

Journalism and communication law is anything but dry and boring, so why should your book send that message to your students?

<li>realWorld Law boxes―engaging stories of the law in practice lend human interest while illustrating contemporary examples or emerging topics; </li>

<li>Cases for Study―two excerpted cases―complete with case facts, an explanatory headnote, and questions―conclude each chapter and give students an opportunity to grapple with justices’ opinions without sending them to a companion casebook.</li>
