FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN CYBERSPACE: WHO SHOULD DECIDE WHAT YOU PUBLISH?

Facebook, blogs, Twitter and other electronic media have made published writers of us all. But what responsibilities accompany this ability to publish? What limits apply? When, if ever, should another individual or institution have a say about what we post?

Student and faculty panelists will explore these issues at the forum "Freedom of Expression in Cyberspace: Who Should Decide What You Publish?"

The program will be held Thursday, Oct. 1, at 1 p.m. in Brock Forum. It is co-sponsored by the Mann Center, the University Library, the Journalism and Mass Communication Department, and the University Fellows program. Convo credit will be awarded for attendance.
