In 2009, Nordicom published /Freedom of Speech Abridged? Cultural, legal 
and philosophical challenges/, and a few years later /Freedom of 
Expression Revisited. Citizenship and journalism in the digital era/. 
The current publication may be seen as a follow-up to these earlier 
titles. It is based  on research in the Nordic countries, but many of 
the studies are global in nature and the result of collaborations 
between researchers from many parts of the world. It is hoped that this 
collection will contribute to knowledge development in the field as well 
as to global and regional discussions about freedom of expression, press 
freedom, and communication rights in contemporary societies.
