Better to just shut up!

Norwegian title: Best å holde kjeft?

A Small book about the freedom of speach crisis.Frank Rossavik is a journalist, writer, editor and commentator in the Norwegian press. In this book he asks the question: Is Freedom of Speech as we know it – one of the foundations of modern democracy – under a pressure that we have yet to see the consequences of? Rossavik has been following the development in the public debate with a special focus on self-censorship, and how we now have almost rock solid agreements on what you can and cannot say in public. With this book he delivers his points on why we need a more open and free room for debate in the world.
