John Charney is Associate Professor of Constitutional Law at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.
An interesting contribution to the ongoing discussion about the meaning of free speech, press freedom and the freedom of politics in general. (Translated from the original Spanish) -- Pablo Marshall, Universidad Austral de Chile * Derecho y Crítica Social * One of the many virtues of John Charney’s The Illusion of the Free Press is that it situates its analysis of truth-discovery in the midst of increasingly grim realities for 21st-century journalism … Charney does a fine job of setting the scene for why we should all be concerned about the press’s diminished state. He should also be commended for his clear organisation, lucid writing, creative argumentation and intellectual honesty in taking on such a challenging topic of scholarly research. -- Randall Stephenson * Oxford Journal of Legal Studies *
