"You don't have to own a press to claim freedom of the press," says instructor Allan Ryan. Now, everybody with a computer is a blogger, and the Supreme Court ruling a generation ago is more relevant than ever.
Ryan discusses the implications of the 1st Amendment with Jenny Attiyeh of ThoughtCast and highlights how the digital era has altered the interpretation of the amendment from the Pentagon Papers to WikiLeaks.
Ryan is the Director of Intellectual Property at Harvard Business School Publishing. In spring 2012, will be teaching JOUR E-110/W The Constitution and the Media, http://www.extension.harvard.edu/courses/22424, at Harvard Extension School.
