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.
