The New England Law Review spring book symposium was held on February 11th at New England Law | Boston. It showcased Professor Amy Gajda’s book The First Amendment Bubble: How Privacy and Paparazzi Threaten a Free Press. Her book explores judicial oversight of journalism news judgment. She discussed how the expansion of acceptable news content has shifted courts’ focus from the First Amendment to individual privacy—a shift that curtails mainstream journalists’ press freedoms. Both Professor Calvert as well as Professor West responded.

The symposium featured Professor Amy Gajda, a Visiting Scholar from Tulane University Law School, as the keynote speaker, as well as feedback and commentary from a panel of prominent legal voices, including:

• Professor Clay Calvert, University of Florida

• Associate Professor Sonja R. West, University of Georgia Law
