75 Fed. Comm. L.J. [i] (2022-2023)

handle is hein.journals/fedcom75 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S NOTE Welcome to the first Issue of Volume 75 of The Federal Communications Law Journal. We are the nation's premiere communications law journal and the official journal of the Federal Communications Bar Association. This year, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of this publication, we look forward to sharing articles and student Notes that showcase the range of issues relevant to the field of technology and communications law. To start, this first Issue provides thoughtful scholarship on topics including influencer marketing, data privacy, artificial intelligence, and the evolution of First Amendment jurisprudence. This Issue begins with an examination of how best to protect journalists if the Supreme Court acts on recent calls to reconsider the landmark defamation case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. In this article, Matthew L. Schafer, Adjunct Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law, and Jeff Kosseff, Associate Professor of Cybersecurity Law at the United States Naval Academy, argue for a federal Freedom of Speech and Press Act that would codify the protections established in Sullivan. This Issue also features four student Notes. In the first Note, Delaney Dunn dives into the ever-growing world of influencer marketing. She argues that influencers should be held accountable for fraudulently inflating their followings and deceiving their brand partners. The second Note, written by Thompson Hangen, focuses on the privacy risks involved with a Central Bank Digital Currency. He argues that, while establishing a Central Bank Digital Currency would strengthen the U.S. dollar, it necessitates an expansion of federal financial data privacy laws. The third Note, written by Dallin Albright, explores the potential consequences of automated journalism. Albright identifies gaps in libel law regarding news content generated with artificial intelligence. He argues the existing negligence standard is best suited to addressing instances of libel resulting from algorithmic speech. Finally, our last student Note in the first Issue was authored by Robin Briendel. She proposes a four-step test for determining when school administrators possess the authority to regulate student speech occurring off- campus. The Editorial Board of Volume 75 would like to thank the FCBA and The George Washington University Law School for their continued support of the Journal. We also appreciate the hard work of the authors and editors who contributed to this Issue. The Federal Communications Law Journal is committed to providing its readers with in-depth coverage of relevant communication law topics. We welcome your feedback and encourage the submission of articles for publication consideration. Please direct any questions or comments about this Issue to fclj@law.gwu.edu.
