- **Event Description**: Join us for our event Freedom of the Press in a Digital World! 🗒📱

Amidst the flood of misinformation freely flowing online, we hear rising calls for government regulation of content. The media must be reined in. Even long-time defenders of a free press increasingly argue that digitization has altered communications so radically that we must change the law’s treatment of speech.
 
Should we? 
 
Prof. Smith suggests that the source of the problem is deeper than our laws can fix, and that recognizing this points toward the answer.

👩‍🎓 Dr. Tara Smith, Department of Philosophy, UT-Austin
