blog 8: media law
In 2009, the Massachusetts state created a 35-foot buzzer zone around the abortion clinic's entrance, exits and driveways. Protesters, especially those who engage in "Pro-life counseling" says this violated the First Amendment it limited free speech too broadly.
Personally, I don't think what Massachusetts state did was wrong, given the fact that those people often suffer from harassment, insults, etc. What the government did was to give those people a private space, an area where they don't have to hear those dirty words. I don't think the government is wrong at all.

blog 5: topics
The first thing that came into my mind
for my presentation is to discuss what cause the mass media in Taiwan so
chaotic. I want to compare the media in Taiwan and media in the US, and see
what are some big differences between them.
