I had the pleasure of attending the very interesting conference on Free Speech in Crisis & the Limits of the First Amendment at Yale Law School on Friday and Saturday; I was invited to participate on the Media Environment panel, for which the description was:
It is widely believed that a profoundly broken media system is responsible for bringing the current administration into power, and for critics, the political crisis it has unleashed. Is this correct? And if so, what is to be done about it? How can public opinion be harnessed to serve constitutional purposes in the new media landscape? How can and should the media system be reformed? And what can free speech law do about any of this?
We were all asked to write up to about 2000 words on our topics, and here was my submission.
