Editors Note.
- Abstract
This document is an editorial note from the Newspaper Research Journal. It discusses the gap between technology and the law, with recent Supreme Court cases and legislation suggesting that the gap may be closing. The article highlights the implications of these cases for communication and news media, such as the ruling that public officials may be sued for blocking critics on social media. It also mentions upcoming Supreme Court cases related to government interactions with social media companies and the question of whether social media companies have editorial control over content. Additionally, the document mentions legislation calling for the sale or banning of TikTok due to concerns about privacy and national security. The editorial note concludes by acknowledging the interest in media literacy, misinformation, and the role of social media in modern society.
