This book outlines a theory of communication and justice for the
digital age, updating classic positions in political philosophy and
ethics, and engaging thinkers from Aristotle through Immanuel Kant and
the American pragmatists to John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, and Amartya
Sen. In communication seeking to define justice and call out
injustice, there is such a thing as the last word. The chapters in
this book trace the historical emergence of communication as a human
right; specify the technological resources and institutional
frameworks necessary for exercising that right; and address some of
the challenges following from digitalization that currently confront
citizens, national regulators, and international agencies. Among the
issues covered are public access to information archives past and
present; local and global networks of communication as sources of
personal identities and imagined communities; the ongoing
reconfiguration of the press as a fourth branch of governance; and
privacy as a precondition for individuals and collectives to live
their lives according to plans, and to make their own histories. The
book will be of interest to students and researchers in media and
communication studies, cultural studies, political philosophy and
ethics, and interdisciplinary fields examining the ethical and
political implications of new information and communication
infrastructures.
