HBO Documentary: Shouting Fire: Stories from the Edge of Free Speech

Hi Folks! Some of you have asked about the documentary I showed a part of in yesterday's 430-700p section. Here is a link to the documentary on YouTube, and here is a link to the DVD on Amazon. (Students in the Monday-Wednesday section: don't panic, we'll get to this on Wednesday).

Communication Law & Regulation

This course deals with the genesis and state of freedom of expression and the rights of individuals and media organizations in the United States. It provides an overview of the development of media law with emphasis on the current policies that govern media, as well as how media policies differ around the world. Attention is paid to the local, national and international legal systems and to how they relate to communication at the micro (individual) and macro (societal) levels.

Dr. Shawn Powers

Shawn Powers is an associate director at the Center for International Media Education and an assistant professor of communication at Georgia State University. Dr. Powers specializes in international political communication, with particular attention to the geopolitics of information and information technologies.
