In this Journalism 2 class I learned so much about each different type of media we use and how its affected society in every aspect of our lives. Media surrounds us whether or not we realize it, and I feel like before this class I didn't realize how it relates so much to the First Amendment and how it impacts our lives no matter which part of the world we live in. I notice how we rely on the media for news and entertainment but we also use it to connect and communicate with others. It really does play an important factor in our life.
Freedom from Speech - This article talks more about the short clip we saw in class..
Our rights are equal and if you have a right to do something or be somewhere, so should everybody else. Why single someone (or a specific group) out.
When we're younger, we are taught to express ourselves freely... its okay to color outside the lines and use our imagination. But the older we get and the higher grade level we complete, I feel like it becomes more limited. We're limited to what we're supposed to do, how we're supposed to do it, how we're supposed to feel and how much of it we can really express.

Media Law and Ethics

The media case study I chose was about how its essential for us to protect our first amendment regarding freedom of speech and also since social media is available and used by pretty much everyone everyday.. we all exercise our right to freedom of speech. However, because we all have our right to express, companies providing that opportunity believe that they have the right to oppress everyone from using their services.
The First Amendment is supposed to protect the people but how is it supposed to protect the people when it is being used against them to take away communications rights which is the whole point of freedom of speech. These internet service providers want control over which speech they transmit and how they transmit it but I agree with the First Amendment scholars who say that they're only a service and just because they are our connection to get messages across, it doesn't mean they are engaging in free expression.
