Description
The First Amendment isn’t just a right, it’s a battleground. Beyond the First breaks down the speech-and-power stories behind the headlines: regulation, platforms, press access, and the tech shaping public debate.
Hosted by First Amendment professor and former TV journalist Israel Balderas, Beyond the First explains the free speech fights shaping public life: press, protest, platforms, and emerging tech. Clear, practical, and grounded in law, each episode focuses on how power actually works.
