Summary:	"There are often too many people to thank with a lengthy writing project; this one is no exception. Here I note some of those that have made the research possible. Apologies to those I have forgotten. The book began with a research project funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) (DP0985337) centred on public speech, defamation and privacy law. That research focused on negative dimensions of free speech, but questions of communicative freedom more generally arose within it and those questions began my work on this book. The research has been completed with support through another program, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society, in which I am an investigator (CE200100005). The Centre of Excellence's interests link more with future work arising from the book. But, particularly for chapter 8, I have benefitted from the Centre and researchers connected with it"--

Description
Summary:	Free speech has positive dimensions of enablement and negative dimensions of non-restraint, both of which require protection for democracy to have substantial communicative legitimacy. In Democracy of Expression, Andrew Kenyon explores this need for sustained plural public speech linked with positive communicative freedom. Drawing on sources from media studies, human rights, political theory, free speech theory and case law, Kenyon shows how positive dimensions of free speech could be imagined and pursued. While recognising that democratic governments face challenges of public communication and free speech that cannot be easily solved, Kenyon argues that understanding the nature of these challenges (including the value of positive free speech) at least makes possible a democracy of expression in which society has a voice, formulates judgments, and makes effective claims of government. In this groundbreaking work, Kenyon not only reframes how we conceptualize free speech, but also provides a roadmap for reform.
