Rezensionen
"In response to the current state of restrictions on journalists, activists, artists and students, among others, Censorship, Digital Media, and the Global Crackdown on Freedom of Expression offers an assortment of theoretically diverse essays aimed at addressing the issue from a variety of focal points. From attacks on academic freedom around the globe, to concerns of corruption and collusion between big tech companies and the government, to the silencing of professional and student journalists, the essays in this collection illustrate deftly and comprehensively the widespread, multifaceted, and rapidly escalating attacks on freedom of speech and expression in both non-democratic and democratic countries alike.
