Ananny challenges the idea that press freedom comes only from heroic, lone journalists who speak truth to power. Instead, drawing on journalism studies, institutional sociology, political theory, science and technology studies, and an analysis of ten years of journalism discourse about news and technology, he argues that press freedom emerges from social, technological, institutional, and normative forces that vie for power and fight for visions of democratic life. He shows how dominant, historical ideals of professionalized press freedom often mistook journalistic \u003ci\u003efreedom from\u003c\/i\u003e constraints for the public's \u003ci\u003efreedom to\u003c\/i\u003e encounter the rich mix of people and ideas that self-governance requires. Ananny's notion of press freedom ensures not only an individual right to speak, but also a public right to hear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeeing press freedom as essential for democratic self-governance, Ananny explores what publics need, what kind of free press they should demand, and how today's press freedom emerges from intertwined collections of humans and machines. If someone says, “The public needs a free press,” Ananny urges us to ask in response, “What kind of public, what kind of freedom, and what kind of press?” Answering these questions shows what robust, self-governing publics need to demand of technologists and journalists alike.Acknowledgments ix\u003cbr\u003e 1 Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e 2 What Kind of Press Freedom Does Democracy Need? 11\u003cbr\u003e The Idea of Democratic Autonomy 13\u003cbr\u003e Free Speech and Democratic Autonomy 18\u003cbr\u003e  The Argument from Truth 20\u003cbr\u003e  The Argument from Democracy 23\u003cbr\u003e A Structural View of the Press, Press Freedom, and an Affirmative\u003cbr\u003e First Amendment 27\u003cbr\u003e  The Institutional Press 29\u003cbr\u003e U.S. Supreme Court Press Decisions 32\u003cbr\u003e  Protecting Publics against Censorship 33\u003cbr\u003e  Regulating Access to Information 35\u003cbr\u003e  Regulating Press Structures in Public Interests 36\u003cbr\u003e The Democratic Value of Listening 39\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion 43\u003cbr\u003e 3 How Has the Press Historically Made Its Freedom? 45\u003cbr\u003e The Press as a Field 47\u003cbr\u003e  Bourdieu’s Field Theory 50\u003cbr\u003e  Bourdieu’s Journalistic Field 54\u003cbr\u003e  The New Institutionalist Press 59\u003cbr\u003e Press Autonomy as Negotiated Separations and Dependencies 65\u003cbr\u003e  Autonomy through Institutionalized Objectivity 65\u003cbr\u003e  Autonomy through Organizational Routine and Ritual 76\u003cbr\u003e  Autonomy through Bracketing Publics 85\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion 95\u003cbr\u003e 4 How Is Networked Press Freedom a Question of Infrastructure? 99\u003cbr\u003e Broadcast Era Press Freedom 100\u003cbr\u003e Computational Influences on Press Freedom 102\u003cbr\u003e Social Media and Press Freedom 104\u003cbr\u003e Press Freedom as Sociotechnical, Infrastructural Work 110\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion 117\u003cbr\u003e 5 How Free Is the Networked Press? 121\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions of Networked Press Freedom 123\u003cbr\u003e  Observation 125\u003cbr\u003e  Production 127\u003cbr\u003e  Alignments 129\u003cbr\u003e  Labor 134\u003cbr\u003e  Analytics 137\u003cbr\u003e  Timing 142\u003cbr\u003e  Security 151\u003cbr\u003e  Audiences 155\u003cbr\u003e  Revenue 162\u003cbr\u003e  Facts 171\u003cbr\u003e  Resemblances 177\u003cbr\u003e  Affect 179\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion 181\u003cbr\u003e 6 Conclusion 183\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: A Discussion of Method 193\u003cbr\u003e Notes 195\u003cbr\u003e References 237\u003cbr\u003e Index 285Mike Ananny is Associate Professor at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the author of \u003ci\u003eNetworked Press Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e (MIT Press).","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305462157541,"sku":"NP9780262549660","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262549660.jpg?v=1767733624","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/networked-press-freedom-isbn-9780262549660","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
