Cities are where the majority of people in the world live. As such,
it is critically important to understand cities when seeking to
address quality-of-life issues. While the concentration of people
in cities presents many complex issues that warrant attention, the
focus of this book is on urban communication and human interaction
as regulated by municipal governments. Thirteen scholars-whose
backgrounds range from community organizing, to law,
telecommunication, architecture, city planning, art, policy
studies, and urban communication-examine public communication
venues and opportunities, all of which are impacted by municipal
regulation. Whether it is the selective funding of public art, the
establishment of architectural standards for public buildings, the
regulation of signage, public assembly, food trucks, or
telecommunication access, the authors in Urban Communication
Regulation: Communication Freedoms and Limits contend that urban
policy and regulation shape communication in cities. Through
zoning, funding, "private law," and a host of other means, the
regulation of communication has significant impacts on the quality
of life for those who live in cities. The essays in this volume
focus on many of these impacts, and suggest both why and how
municipal regulation can improve the quality of urban
communication.
Baseball stadia are places of memory, identity, athletic and
architectural accomplishment. They are sites capable of arousing
passion, sentimentality and a sense of community. The baseball
stadium provides a unique lens through which to understand, explore
and expand an understanding of communication theories. While
baseball has previously been explored by scholars, this volume
introduces the stadium as a way of exploring communication and
communication theories through an examination of the four discrete
themes that frame the organization of this work: community and
communication, fandom and communication, memory and communication,
and commodification and communication. This volume offers a unique
approach to those interested in communication theory, popular
culture, sports management, and people environment studies.
This book explores the concept of the "communicative city",
developed initially by participants in an international Urban
Communication Foundation initiative, by bringing together scholars
from across the communication arts and sciences seeking to enhance
our understanding of the dynamic relationship between urban
residents and their social, physical, mediated, and built
environments. The chapters are arranged in categories that speak to
two larger themes: first, they all speak to at least one aspect of
the qualifying and/or disqualifying characteristics of a
communicative city. A second, larger theme is what we might refer
to as a master trope of the urban experience and, indeed, of urban
communication: inside/outside. The research presented here
represents social scientific and humanistic approaches to
communication, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and
positivist/normative and interpretive orientations, thereby
providing a deeper understanding of the multi-level phenomena that
unfold in urban communities.

In this dizzying post-truth, post-fact, fake news era, the
onslaught and speed of potentially untrue, incorrect, or fabricated
information (some crafted and weaponized, some carelessly shared)
can cause a loss of our intellectual bearings. If we fail to have a
common truthful basis for discussions of opinion and policy, the
integrity of our democracy is at risk. This up-to-date anthology is
designed to provide a survey of technological, ethical, and legal
issues raised by falsehoods, particularly social media
misinformation. The volume explores visual and data dissemination,
business practices, international perspectives, and case studies.
With misinformation and misleading information being propagated
using a variety of media such as memes, data, charts, photos,
tweets, posts, and articles, an understanding of the theory,
mechanisms, and changing communication landscape is essential to
move in the right direction with academic, industry, and government
initiatives to inoculate ourselves from the dangers of fake news.
The book takes an international and multidisciplinary approach with
contributions from media studies, journalism, computer science, the
law, and communication, making it distinct among books on fake
news. This book is essential for graduate or undergraduate students
in courses dealing with fake news and communication studies.
Relevant courses include media studies, journalism, public
relations, media ethics, media law, social media, First Amendment
law, philosophy, and political science.

Convergence, participatory culture, multimedia technologies, and
social media platforms are creating new communicative opportunities
that fundamentally influence citizenship and journalism. Social
media present a staggering breadth of legal and ethical matters to
consider. The limits and laws of free expression in this new media
landscape are beginning to emerge both domestically and
internationally, causing us to ask the following questions: How do
we conceive of privacy? Should the law protect citizen journalists?
How do social media affect ethical obligations of journalists and
public relations professionals? These are just a few of the issues
raised by the new social media landscape. Myriad standards of
professional ethics command compliance in order for various media
industries to function. Scholarly researchers of social media have
not yet focused on the rights of expression and ethical obligations
of the new media environment. This volume will address the scope
and nature of this developing environment of expression with
chapter topics ranging from privacy, cyber-bullying, and harassment
to defamation, intellectual property rights, and online safety.
The studies in this volume support certain common, perhaps
universal conclusions about heroes: All cultures have them; all
cultures need them; who or what is considered heroic may vary from
culture to culture; the heroes of a culture reflect or define
culture values; communication is at the heart of hero creation and
maintenance. The array of topics associated with heroes is vast in
this global, post September 11th, modern media environment. This
volume provides a survey and hopefully stimulates consideration of
continuity and change with regard to heroes. ""Heroes in a Global
World"" is concerned with the role communication processes,
practices, and technologies play in developing the form and
function of the contemporary hero.
This book explores the notion that the push toward marketization is
the central force currently restructuring the communications
landscape and examines the consequences of this development for the
constitution of public culture. The contributors analyze the core
institutional processes of marketization and assess their impact on
the structure and operations of media and communication systems
around the world over the last two decades. The chapters are
organized over four key themes - consolidation, incorporation,
globalization and resistance.
Philosophers, academics and judges have offered opinions regarding
the nature, scope, purpose and function of the ""First Amendment"".
In this volume, Hemmer provides a cursory biography of the authors
of 34 major theories concerning the ""First Amendment"", a brief
excerpt from the author's writing, and, in some instances, a
description of the impact or effect of the theory on legal doctrine
or societal concerns. A thorough bibliography allows a detailed
examination of the primary as well as the secondary sources.

The first edition of Real Law @ Virtual Space explored the
historical and ever-changing aspects of the regulation of
communication in cyberspace. Much has changed in the intervening
four years as legislators, service providers, consumers and courts
grapple with fundamental principles and nuances of regulation,
particularly as daily social, political, economic and commercial
life moves increasingly into cyberspace. The second edition of this
volume addresses the foundation of regulation while reporting on
the most current evolving regulatory measures. The technology of
communication challenges developments in applicable laws governing
rights of privacy, free expression, and liability. Specifically,
developments in such areas as obscenity, libel, copyright and
intellectual property, linking liability, and cybercrime are
considered. In addition, the volume examines existing law and
explores the issues that will require legislative and judicial
attention in the near future as the law develops and focuses upon
communicative rights and liabilities. The volume focuses on
developments within the United States, but it also deals with the
challenges to jurisdiction in transnational cyberspace.
