Abstract

In the aftermath of the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) Grand Chamber judgment in Delfi AS v. Estonia (16 June 2015), 1 there has been a strong need for a scholarly contribution to the discussion about the new media. The Nordic Council provided NORDPLUS funding for our Law and Media network at just the right moment. Our network was founded as a co-operation between Tallinn University (Estonia), University of Iceland, University of Latvia and University of Tampere (Finland). Nordic and Baltic countries are the avantgarde of new media applications. In addition, they are well-known for their good records on freedom of expression. Four Nordic states (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark) are topping the recent World Press Freedom Index according to Reporters Without Borders.
