Abstract:

"The First Amendment Right of free speech is a fragile one. Its fragility is found no less in legal opinions than in no other specialized forms of public discourse. Both its fragility and its sometimes surprising resiliency are reflected in this book. It provides an examination of how the U.S. Supreme Court has dealt with the problem of restrictions on media coverage of the criminal justice system, as well as how lower courts have interpreted the law created by the Supreme Court. The author explores the degree to which the Court has created a coherent body of law that protects free expression values while permitting reasonable government regulation, and examines the Supreme Court's jurisprudence concerning prior restraints, postpublication sanctions on the press, and their right of access to criminal proceedings."--BOOK JACKET.
