Mobilizing the Press examines the role of the press in
constitutional litigation before the United States Supreme Court to
shape the First Amendment doctrine that forms the legal environment
in which journalists operate. The book shows that the Court has
consistently ruled in favor of the press's interpretation of the
First Amendment on publishing issues such as prior restraints,
libel, and privacy, but has not been persuaded that the First
Amendment protects newsgathering, as in reporters' privilege,
cameras in courtrooms, and ride-along cases. The book focuses on
three important case studies and surveys the evolution of
constitutional press law before and between the case studies. It
demonstrates how the institutional press has played a significant,
if not always decisive, role in that evolution. Eric B. Easton is
Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore School of Law,
where he has taught Communications Law, Legal Writing, and other
subjects for 20 years. Before joining the UB faculty, he taught

Aberdeen, Scotland, and Copyright and Constitutional Law at
Shandong University, China, and Comparative Cyberlaw at the
University of Curacao. He has been a visiting scholar at the
Journalism Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in
Beijing. Before joining the academy, Professor Easton was a
professional journalist for more than 20 years. He currently serves
as editor of the scholarly Journal of Media Law & Ethics and as
a member of the editorial advisory board of The Daily Record,
Maryland's business and legal newspaper. Professor Easton holds a
B.S. from the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University,
a J.D. from the Francis King Carey School of Law, University of
Maryland-Baltimore, and a Ph.D. from the Philip Merrill College of
Journalism, University of Maryland-College Park. He has authored
more than 15 law review articles and delivered a similar number of
academic presentations in this country and overseas. He was also
