Political Censorship and the Democratic State
Summary
January 2004 marked the tenth anniversary of the repeal of Section 31 of the Broadcasting Act, under which for two decades journalists were prohibited from broadcasting interviews with spokespersons for proscribed organizations. This constraint affected RTÉ's coverage of Northern Ireland in particular. This book details how an instance of censorship raises universal concerns bout the often-fraught relationship between the state and the media in hundreds of countries across the globe. It asks whether cenship imposed in the name of democracy can ever be justified.
