By Media Law Prof Blog

Joseph A. Tomain, Indiana University Maurer School of Law, has published Big Data and the Fourth Estate: Protecting the Development of News Media Monitoring Databases at 12 J. Bus. & Tech. L. 53 (2016).

Tomain contends that news media monitoring databases generally fall within fair use rights and may be protected under the qualified First Amendment right to receive information and ideas.
