Review Quotes




"Drawing from detailed and as-yet unexamined sources...Barbas assembles a compelling trove of evidence to support her argument. Her analysis is organized and written in an exciting narrative that challenges academic convention. As such, readers will find Newsworthy not only a human story about the law's effects on individual lives but also a significant legal treatise on the competition between fundamental rights of privacy and press made all the more relevant by the contemporary debate about 'fake news.'"--Andrea C. Hatcher "MCU Journal"

"Especially impressive is the degree to which the author illuminates the ways in which the law is shaped by the individuals involved in creating itThis fascinating and richly documented legal history is suitable for general readers"--Rachel Bridgewater " Library Journal"

"In Newsworthy, Barbas demonstrates her formidable skill as a scholar and storyteller, producing a page-turner from deep research that places Time, Inc. v. Hill at the meeting point of the colliding rights of privacy and freedom of the press...Ultimately, the book offers crucial context for our understanding of the relationship between the First Amendment and the democratic public sphere."--Patrick C. File "Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly"

"Placing Time, Inc. v. Hill in its legal and cultural context illuminates an underexamined period in the development of privacy law and questions current privacy standards in the United States...If readers leave Newsworthy reconsidering the constitutional balance between personal privacy and freedom of the press, the author will have achieved her goal."--Tim Gleason "Journal of American History"

"This fascinating book journeys back to a transformative moment in Supreme Court history, when it declared that the Constitution protected the press's invasion of privacy of newsworthy subjects. Newsworthy inspires us to imagine what American society might look like today had the decision gone the other way."--Laura Kalman "University of California, Santa Barbara"

"With a compelling narrative of the important and fascinating Supreme Court case of Time, Inc. v. Hill, Newsworthy is a valuable addition to the volatile debate over the tension between freedom of the press and the right to privacy in the U.S."--Stephen Wermiel "co-author of Justice Brennan: Liberal Champion"
