Media law students at the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication can take several related courses in the School and elsewhere
on campus:
Censorship (JOMC
144) This course is taught by Professor
Chuck Stone, the renowned journalist and author. This course examines
the history, sociology and jurisprudence surrounding censorship.
Freedom of Expression
(JOMC 160) This
course is taught by Dr.
Margaret Blanchard, a Pulitzer Prize nominee and the author of several
books on freedom of expression. The course's major premise
is that freedom of expression, the cornerstone of all other American
freedoms, is truly available to all only when it can be based on full
information and only when it is available to those most obnoxious to the
majority.
American
Constitutional History to 1876 (HIST 157)
American
Constitutional History Since 1876 (HIST 158) These courses
are taught by Dr.
John Semonche, a professor in UNC's history department and an expert
in American legal and constitutional history. He is currently working on a
book tentatively titled "Speak No Evil: Sin, Sex and Censorship From
Comstock to Helms," and has also agreed to edit the legal papers of
James Iredell, an early Supreme Court Justice. Seminar
in Internet Policies and Future Initiatives (ILS 310) This
course is taught by Professor
Paul Jones, who
claims he is often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed
social policies of the Sixties. This course examines emerging Internet
policy issues such as copyright, intellectual property, privacy, and
security and explores emerging Internet tools and applications.
Cyberspace
Law (LAW 357C) This course is taught by Professor
Laura Gasaway, director of the UNC Law Library and an intellectual
property professor. There are three goals for this course: to help
students understand substantive law, engage in team work and learn to use
presentation technology. Other
courses at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
