The Routledge Companion to Media and Human Rights offers a
comprehensive and contemporary survey of the key themes, approaches
and debates in the field of media and human rights. The Companion
is the first collection to bring together two distinct ways of
thinking about human rights and media, including scholarship that
examines media as a human right alongside that which looks at media
coverage of human rights issues. This international collection of
49 newly written pieces thus provides a unique overview of current
research in the field, while also providing historical context to
help students and scholars appreciate how such developments depart
from past practices. The volume examines the universal principals
of freedom of expression, legal instruments, the right to know,
media as a human right, and the role of media organisations and
journalistic work. It is organised thematically in five parts:
Communication, Expression and Human Rights Media Performance and
Human Rights: Political Processes Media Performance and Human
Rights: News and Journalism Digital Activism, Witnessing and Human
Rights Media Representation of Human Rights: Cultural, Social and
Political. Individual essays cover an array of topics, including
mass-surveillance, LGBT advocacy, press law, freedom of information
and children's rights in the digital age. With contributions from
both leading scholars and emerging scholars, the Companion offers
an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to media and
human rights allowing for international comparisons and varying
perspectives. The Routledge Companion to Media and Human Rights
provides a comprehensive introduction to the current field useful
for both students and researchers, and defines the agenda for
future research.
