Amit Schejter’s research focuses on the relationship between media and justice. It analyzes how the introduction of new technologies has an effect on the public interest; minority rights; the unequal distribution of communication resources, and the silencing of the public’s voice, in particular that of members of marginalized communities. Central among the theoretical approaches to justice he currently investigates is the capabilities approach.

He is the author or editor of seven books and more than 60 journal articles, law reviews and book chapters in five languages and has been cited in congressional and Knesset hearings. Critics have described his books as deserving of “high praise for their energetic and creative investigation,” as “must-read for policy makers, educators, industry leaders and others interested in bringing U.S. communications into the 21st century,” and as “display[ing] enviable intellectual courage.”

Rotem Medzini is a PhD Candidate in Public Policy at the Federmann School of Public Policy and Government at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In his PhD project, supervised by Prof. David Levi-Faur, Rotem is investigating multi-actor Internet governance through the premise of the policy instruments and the regulatory strategies that state and non-state actors adopt within their rule-making positions, rule-intermediary implementation, and rule-taking compliance actions. In his research projects, Rotem combines methods and understandings from regulation theory and network system theory to analyze how rule-makers within different Internet governance regimes hold a regulatory capacity capable to regulate information and content flow. Among his research interests are social media and digital content regulation, information privacy law and policy, regulation theory, online governance and self-regulation, intellectual property, and virtual worlds.
