Larissa Lidsky

Larissa Lidsky, a law professor specializing in First Amendment and media law, and Christina Koningisor, a press freedom advocate, discuss the shifting landscape of press power in relation to executive authority. They explore how the decline of local news and the erosion of post-Watergate reforms have created a troubling First Amendment disequilibrium. The duo also assesses historical cases and the impact of economic pressures on the media, while proposing reforms to restore press strength and transparency in government.
