Information and Socioeconomic Class in U.S. Constitutional Law.
Braman, Sandra
Journal of Communication, v39 n3 p163-79 Sum 1989
Examines Supreme Court decisions on information policy during the 1980s. Finds they support socioeconomic class divisions by: providing relatively few protections for media available to those of low socioeconomic status; directly limiting expenditures for court costs; deferring to labor law; and defining informational rights and responsibilities by profession.
