COMMUNICATION RIGHTS IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL DISRUPTION

Journal of Information Policy, Special Issue on Communication Rights (1/2020) presents articles originating from the international conference Communication Rights in the Digital Age, which took place in Helsinki in 2019 and was co-sponsored by CORDI.

The Issue is co-edited by the CORDI members Hannu Nieminen and Minna Horowitz and includes an article by the CORDI members Kari Karppinen and Outi Puukko: Four Discourses of Digital Rights: Promises and Problems of Rights-Based Politics.

The studies in this issue demonstrate the policies, dilemmas, and contexts within communication rights from a variety of perspectives. They highlight new dilemmas and actors of communication rights in the digital era, but also how old policy issues emerge, are framed, and can be studied.
