Global Media, National Laws and Free Speech

Listen Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007 at 12:06 p.m. in Law, Science, Society, Tech Tuesday, Technology

Guest host: Matthew Felling

In the age of the Internet, you might think national borders are unimportant. But the world wide web also amplifies the reach of national laws. And many companies -- especially newspapers, publishing houses, and IT companies -- are confronting confusing and often contradictory regulations governing free expression. Tech Tuesday explores how our media landscape is affected by libel laws in Britain, anti-extremist regulations in France, journalist-suppression in China, and more.
