You can't copyright facts, but is news a category unto itself?
Without legal protection for the "ownership" of news, what
incentive does a news organization have to invest in producing
quality journalism that serves the public good? This book explores
the intertwined histories of journalism and copyright law in the
United States and Great Britain, revealing how shifts in
technology, government policy, and publishing strategy have shaped
the media landscape. Publishers have long sought to treat news as
exclusive to protect their investments against copying or "free
riding." But over the centuries, arguments about the vital role of
newspapers and the need for information to circulate have made it
difficult to defend property rights in news. Beginning with the
earliest printed news publications and ending with the Internet,
Will Slauter traces these countervailing trends, offering a fresh
perspective on debates about copyright and efforts to control the
flow of news.
