Thus, the Law Division officers propose to focus Division and AEJMC attention at the 1995 convention on a reconceptualization of the meaning of the First Amendment, especially in light of on-going technological developments in the field of journalism and mass communication. To this end, we propose that the Division examine two questions: First, what will be the parameters of mass communication law in the next century? Second, how should we begin Index Headnote........................................................

Borrowing from Bill Chamberlin (Florida) and Charlene Brown's 1980 convention programming, we propose to develop panels, a special paper competition and - we intend - a special publica- tion around the theme, The First Amendment Reconsidered: Te c h no log i c a1 Implications for the 21st Century. (As with Chamberlin and Brown's 1982 book, The First Amendment Reconsidered: New Perspectives on the Meaning of Freedom of Speech and Press, profits from this publication would go to the Law Division.) First, Paul Kostyu (Ohio Wesleyan) is organizing a special paper competition on the Division's convention theme. The deadline for these N papers will be March 1, 1995. The top five papers will be pre- sented at a special convention research session devoted to this topic; the top three will receive monetary awards. Papers not selected for this special presenta- tion will be forwarded to the Division's regular paper compe- tition to be considered for presentation at other Division research sessions in Washington, D.C. Research Chair Jeanne Scafella (East Carolina) is in charge of our regular paper competition. Its deadline is April 1, 1995. Second, the Law Division proposes to invite experts in the various fields of mass communication law to discuss coming changes in various areas. But rather than the stan- dard panel discussion with four panelists and a moderator, we are considering something similar to the Honors Lecture approach of the Scholastic Journalism Division - two presenters with written remarks on each topic and a moderator. In this way, we hope to provide a more challeng- ing and thought-provoking discussion of the future of the First Amendment at the convention. (We hope that permis- sion may be obtained from each of the presenters for the Division to annotate/footnote their remarks and include selected ones in the special publication we are planning.) For example, Law Division officers are currently discussing the following topics for possible convention pro- gramming: * Foundational principles of communications regulations in the 21st Century; * Privacy in cyberspace; * The people's right to know and the future information marketplaces; * Access to electronic records under the Freedom of Information Act; * Technological impediments to the enforcement of obscen- ity and indecency laws; * Coming threats to copyright - the problems of originali- ty and fair use; and *Regulating trans-border information flow.
