University of South Carolina
I am an attorney and scholar focused on legal issues involving the media, including the internet and social media. I hold the Reid H. Montgomery Chair in Freedom of Information at the University of South Carolina, where I teach media and internet law as an associate professor at the USC School of Journalism and Mass Communications and an Academic Affiliate of the University of South Carolina Joseph F. Rice School of Law. I am also “of counsel” to Fenno Law in Charleston/Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
