Who Owns the News?

A History of Copyright

Will Slauter

Explore the intertwined histories of journalism and copyright law in the United States and Great Britain, and discover how shifts in technology, government policy, and publishing strategy have shaped the media landscape. Without legal protection for the "ownership" of news, what incentive does a news organization have to invest in producing quality journalism that serves the public good? This book traces the countervailing trends from the earliest printed news publications to the Internet, offering a fresh perspective on debates about copyright and efforts to control the flow of news.
