Ngange K: Press Freedom, Access to
Information, and Media Ethics in Africa

Press Freedom, Access to Information, and Media Ethics in Africa

Trends, Challenges, and Prospects

Drawing on over a decade and a half of first-hand experience, leading legal scholar and feminist activist Marilyn Kamuru documents the important role African feminist organizing plays in defining and defending gender-equality policy in Kenya and beyond. Focusing on how constitutionally mandated gender quotas in Kenya's parliament are repeatedly violated by government failures, or outright refusals, to implement them, Kamuru brings out how Kenya's feminist activists--during the drafting of the 2010 constitution and in the years since--fight gender inequality in ways that go more to the heart of the problem than any conventional approach. Kenyan feminists, Kamuru argues, are unique in that they address not only the underrepresentation of women in politics, but also the overrepresentation of men. This distinct framing of the issue, now enshrined in the highly progressive 2010 constitution thanks to their efforts, poses a real threat to male dominance in government, and this is what accounts for its obstinate non-implementation. Kamuru's findings highlight the important questions that African feminism poses to global efforts towards gender equality. How do quotas really impact gender equity? How are they used to limit debates about it? What does the dominance of typical WROs and INGOs in all areas of gender policy say about their own roles in inscribing such limits? And what alternatives are African feminist movements such as WeAre52pc and EndFemicide offering?

Schriften zum Recht der Digitalisierung

Communication platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube have become central arenas of public opinion formation. Their operators moderate millions of items of user-generated content every day on the basis of privately drafted terms of service, removing not only unlawful but also lawful content protected by fundamental rights. Jonas Hiller examines under which conditions and to what extent such moderation is permissible.
 

 The legal framework is provided by the Digital Services Act (DSA), in force since 2024, whose moderation-related due diligence obligations are first systematically analyzed. Building on this, the author develops standards for reviewing both the exercise and the substantive content of privately autonomous moderation decisions, as well as their effects under private law. He also examines the scope for national regulation that remains under the fully harmonizing DSA.
 

 The study demonstrates that the DSA leads to a constitutionalization of the platform user agreement without entirely eliminating private autonomy. In their moderation practices, platform operators become bound by fundamental rights and rule-of-law principles. While they retain broad discretion in designing their terms of service, the application and enforcement of those terms in individual cases are subject to stricter scrutiny. Key criteria for this graduated intensity of review are market power, user dependency, and a platform's function as a public forum.
 

 The study also critically assesses the DSA's fully harmonizing effect, arguing that the regulation of the digital public sphere touches upon the cultural sovereignty and democratic identity of the Member States. Rather than preserving national regulatory discretion, the fully harmonizing nature of EU law results in a Europeanization of freedom of expression in the digital sphere.

Should we give up privacy to fight disease, for national security, or to help train AI systems? Recent crises, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from Gaza and Afghanistan to the seemingly unstoppable rise of AI, have put privacy under severe pressure. Privacy in Crisis argues the opposite: these crises show that privacy needs to be protected even more. Privacy in Crisis looks at vital current issues: at political manipulation and misinformation, government surveillance, racial tension, hybrid and cyberwarfare (and real wars, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza), the overwhelming power of the internet giants, and surveillance society, and how interference with privacy is key in all of them. It shows how specific crises bring many of these issues together in perfect storms of privacy invasion. The different threats to our privacy revealed by these crises tell parallel stories and are inextricably linked. There are common themes and common technologies - the threats involve the same data, the same profiling systems and the same approaches. In many cases the systems are run or owned by the same small set of companies, controlled by the same few people. Addressing them is difficult but possible - this essential book outlines how.

How has fashion become such an important signifier of French nationhood? How has fashion journalism been used to mediate political ideologies like fascism? These questions and more are answered in the first book to comprehensively explore the interactions between fashion, the media, soft power, and nationhood. With a geographically diverse range of case studies and a unique focus on fashion journalism, Fashion and Power covers the origins of the relationship between fashion, cultural power, and national identity in 'courtly' societies, through the Cold War to the identities of emerging fashion nations such as China and Nigeria. Examining figures from 'La Jeune Fille Américaine' to First Ladies, Nelson Best argues how, in Susan Kaiser's words, 'representations of nation are built on the backs of women's bodies.' By exploring fashion journalism as a discourse of cultural power that shapes the identity of nations in different times and places, Fashion and Power reveals the contingency of these power relations and the possibility of their renegotiation. This accessible and highly engaging book is an invaluable resource not only for fashion studies students but also for those in media and cultural studies and anyone interested in fashion, identity, and power.

Fashion and Power

To understand today's world-its media, its politics, and its culture wars-you must first understand Rupert Murdoch. For seventy years, he cultivated leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair, and, eventually, Donald Trump. Across continents and decades, presidents and prime ministers sought his favor-and feared his wrath. But Murdoch's real achievement is how he built that influence in the first place.&nbsp;At twenty-one years old, he inherited two failing Australian papers after his father's sudden death left the family in debt with rivals circling. Deal by deal, he fought his way from Adelaide to London to America, buying up ailing newspapers that his established competitors were convinced would fail. With each win, he wagered more, until he'd assembled a globe-spanning empire that gave him leverage over politics, culture, and the news itself. He nearly lost it all under a mountain of debt in 1990. He missed the internet, twice. A phone-hacking scandal made him a pariah in the UK. And late in life, he fought his own children over who would inherit what he'd built. Yet Murdoch's influence persisted through every crisis: his career both masterclass and cautionary tale about the power that comes from controlling the story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, this sweeping biography reveals the man behind the empire-and the century he helped shape.

Ein bahnbrechender Text über die eigentlichen Ursachen von Polarisierung und PopulismusIn einer zunehmend komplexer werdenden Gesellschaft muss man vertrauen. Ohne Vertrauen in gesellschaftliche Systeme und Institutionen wird man handlungsunfähig. Um als Misstrauender nicht handlungsunfähig zu bleiben, gibt es eine plausible Alternative: Man vertraut denen, die ebenfalls misstrauen. Und zwar nicht aufgrund ihrer Kompetenz oder Erfahrung, sondern einzig und allein aufgrund des gemeinsamen Misstrauens. Es entstehen Misstrauensgemeinschaften - eine Gefahr für die gesellschaftliche Stabilität und die Demokratie.Wer verstehen möchte, warum Vertrauen immer wichtiger, aber Misstrauen immer wahrscheinlicher wird und welche Folgen umfassende Vertrauenskrisen für die Gesellschaft haben, muss dieses Buch lesen.

"An essential addition to the bookshelf of any practitioner who has to consider information rights, however often. The book is the best kind of practitioner text: practical and clear, but also scholarly, thoughtful and analytical." (Sarah Hannett KC, Judicial Review) Retaining the position it has held since first publication, this is the 7th edition of the leading practitioner text on all aspects of information law. The latest edition includes a substantially enlarged set of chapters on appeals, enforcement, and remedies, as well as covering new judgments and decisions published since the last edition. Information Rights has been cited by the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and the Tribunals, and is used by practitioners, judges and all those who practise in the field, including journalists. The new edition maintains its style of succinct statements of principle, supported by case law, legislative provisions, and statutory guidance. The work is divided into 2 volumes. Volume 1 is a 1,500-page commentary, with a comprehensive coverage of the data protection regime, freedom of information and environmental information law, as well as other rights of access to official information such as local government legislation and the Public Records Act. There is detailed coverage of appeal and regulatory procedures. Volume 2 comprises extensive annotated statutory material, including the DPA 2018, the UK GDPR, FOIA, Tribunal rules and statutory guidance.

“Holm’s goal is to clarify and assess F. A. Hayek’s critique of legislation. The author knows the extant literature intimately and brings an interdisciplinary sensibility to his task. The result is a carefully-argued and original contribution to Hayekian studies. “–Bruce Caldwell
 , Research Professor of Economics, Director, Center for the History of Political Economy, Duke University, USA and the author of 
 Hayek's&nbsp;Challenge 
 and 
 Hayek: A Life"This book is an in-depth treatment of F. A. Hayek's incomparable 20th Century contributions to the study of rules, order, and economy."–Vernon Smith
 , Professor of Economics and Law at Chapman University, USA, and 2002 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics
 This book argues for a comprehensive reframing of Friedrich Hayek, one of the most influential economic and social thinkers of the twentieth century. Its focus is on the role of legal philosophy and legislation in understanding Hayek's views on social and economic planning, and in particular his critique of socialism.The book examines Hayek's later works on the shortcomings of legislation as the primary political tool used by governments to coerce otherwise free economic activity. It argues that Hayek's view of social and especially legal rules equates to a reformulation of his critique of planned economies, which has so far been understood in purely economic terms. The book argues&nbsp;that Hayek should be considered an important scholar in the realm of complexity theory, showing that his writing on intertwined legal and economic systems paved the way for a greater understanding of how individual agents and the 'spontaneous order' of the economy is inevitably regulated by the rational social order brought about by moral and legal rules and institutions. The book itself seeks to break the tradition of studying Hayek's work from isolated legal or economic lenses. Cyril Holm 
 is an Associate Professor of Law at Karlstad University, Sweden. His academic background is in economics, the history of science and legal philosophy, the latter of which is currently his primary research interest. He has teaching and research experience at the interface of law, economics, complexity theory, technology and future studies.&nbsp;
