Journalism as a Human Right

In this talk John Hartley proposes that journalism should not be seen as a professional practice but as a human right. Everyone has the right to impart as well as receive information, and to publish as well as hold opinions. What might this mean for journalists ... and for the rest of the population?

All welcome.
