Abstract: While the debate on the theoretical explanation of freedom of expression has been led for several decades, a theory of media freedom has, it seems, not been subject to a distinct scrutiny so far. First, a theory of media freedom has to rebut the objections against media freedom as a distinct fundamental right (see 2.1). Second, it is argued that the rationale for media freedom is the media's significance for public discourse (see 2.2.). Third, a theory of media freedom has to clarify the relationship between freedom of the media and freedom of expression (see 2.3).
