Its influence on the field, impact on generations of journalists, and ability to spark debate on why the press acts as it does continue to make it an oft-quoted source and classroom staple. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLast Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, eight communications scholars critique and expand on the classic text. The authors argue that \u003ci\u003eFour Theories\u003c\/i\u003e spoke to and for a world beset by a cold war ended long ago. At the same time, they praise the book for offering an alternative view of the press and society and as a useful tool for helping scholars and citizens alike grapple with contradictions in classical liberalism. They also raise important questions about the Internet and other major changes in communications systems and society since the original publication of \u003ci\u003eFour Theories\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: William E.
