My research falls into three primary tracks. The first is focused on ethics and is broadly concerned with journalistic identity, professionalism and accountability. The second addresses the legal distinctions between acquiring and disseminating information, and particularly considers the constitutionality of government restraints on newsgathering technology and practices by journalists and citizens. The third is examines the policy rationales and constitutional theories underlying government control of digital media. I am also interested in comparative analyses of these subjects, particularly their treatment by the European Court of Human Rights.
