ABSTRACT

This article examines the notion of media freedom and the development of two cultures of media freedom. The negative rights approach which is more prevalent in US law is increasingly separated from the more positive rights approach of international human rights and the ECHR. The article outlines the elements of a conditional, institutional approach to media freedom that combines both positive and negative approaches. The article examines the implications of this theory for some contemporary policy questions about regulation of internet intermediaries in Europe.

媒体自由理论

摘要

本文考察了媒体自由的概念以及两种媒体自由文化的发展。在美国法律中更为普遍的消极权利方法与国际人权和欧洲人权公约中更积极的权利方法越来越分离。文章概述了结合积极和消极方法的有条件的、制度性的媒体自由方法的要素。本文探讨了这一理论对欧洲互联网中介监管的一些当代政策问题的影响。
