Speech, Media, and Ethics: The Limits of Free Expression is an interdisciplinary work that employs ethics, liberal philosophy, and legal and media studies to outline boundaries to freedom of expression and freedom of the press conducive to protecting basic human and civic rights. Moral principles are applied to analyze practical questions that deal with free expression and its limits. Booknews Cohen-Almagor (communication, U. of Haifa) incorporates ethics, liberal philosophy, and legal and media studies in this examination of tolerance and the problems of maintaining a free press given the forces that threaten the institutions of contemporary society. His analysis of freedom of expression considers the right to demonstrate; the right to picket the homes of public officials; and the right to compete in elections. An examination of freedom of the press looks at objective reporting in the media; ethical boundaries of media coverage; the concept of the public's right to know and its ethical constraints; and a comparison of the work of the press councils of Great Britain, Canada, and Israel.
