Book Review: “Practical Aspects of the Freedom of Speech” [Praktyczne aspekty wolności wypowiedzi], eds. Wojciech Lis, Zbigniew Husak, Wydawnictwo Adam Marszałek, Toruń 2011, pp. 551

The freedom of speech and the right to information are essential human and citizenship rights, which are guaranteed in the constitution and numerous international conventions. The book under review focuses on widely understood issues of the free expression of views. The authors of the articles are either scholars who deal with the legal aspects of mass media or journalists, who are part of those media. As a result, the authors’ opinions and proposals for change not only deepen our knowledge, but also broaden the scope of thinking about the freedom of speech as practiced by the media.
