| Collectively,
the Communications Law & Policy faculty group has published
more than 19 books and treatises, 50 journal articles, 60
law journal articles, and 50 reviews and commentaries in the
nation's leading newspapers and magazines. Additionally, they
appear frequently as experts in the regional and national
media. They serve as consultants to industry, international
organizations, and government and are called upon to testify
before state legislatures and Congress.
The College is home to the Pennsylvania Center
for the First Amendment and the Institute for Information
Policy. These organizations serve as centers for research
and outreach. Research spearheaded by these organizations
has been cited in testimony to Congress and in briefs and
petitions to the U.S. Supreme Court.
At Penn State, doctoral candidates may specialize
in a wide range of law and policy topics, including traditional
First Amendment theory, libel, privacy, free press-fair trial
issues, freedom of information, obscenity and copyright. They
may also specialize in telecommunications policy, examining
issues such as media convergence, the digital divide, Internet
law and information economics. |
