Rich in historical detail, "Images of a Free Press" is an elegant,
powerful guide to the evolution of our modern conception of freedom
of the press, which finds expression in laws that protect print
journalism and regulate broadcast media. Bollinger argues that this
distinction remains meaningful but he advocates a more
sophisticated approach to issues of privacy, access, and
technology. Providing concrete guidelines for improving media laws,
"Images of a Free Press" is a vital First Amendment primer for
lawyers, media professionals, and critics, and all concerned
citizens.
""Images of a Free Press" is the natural sequel to Lee Bollinger's
first book, "The Tolerant Society," and is destined to become a
standard in first amendment scholarship."--Rodney A. Smolla,
"Constitutional Commentary"
"Revisiting themes he first explored some fifteen years ago,
Bollinger now adds further to our understanding of the complex
relationship among the First Amendment, the Supreme Court, the
public, the press and the democratic process. This is a work of
insight, sensitivity, and power. Bollinger has a profound knowledge
of and a deep affection for his subject, and it shows."--Geoffrey
R. Stone, "Michigan Law Review"
"This thoughtful, understated book remains a call to come join the
town meeting and hammer out some new rules of order. Scholars and
citizens alike could do well to read Bollinger's book and accept
his challenge."--"Yale Law Review"
"For a number of years, Lee Bollinger has argued that the First
Amendment has been applied differently to the print media than it
has been to the broadcast media. In his new book, "Images of a Free
Press," Bollinger provides a concise, persuasiveaccount of why this
is so--and why it ought to be so."--"Columbia Law Review"
