Law on the Freedom of the Press of 29 July 1881 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Law on the Freedom of the Press of 29 July 1881 The Law on the Freedom of the Press of 29 July 1881 ((フランス語:Loi sur la liberté de la presse du 29 juillet 1881)), often called the Press Law of 1881, is a law that defines the freedoms and responsibilities of the media and publishers in France. It provides a legal framework for publications and regulates the display of advertisements on public roads. Although it has been amended several times since its enactment, it remains in force to the present day. It is often regarded as the foundational legal statement on freedom of the press and freedom of speech in France, inspired by Article 11 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 26 August 1789. At the same time, the law imposes legal obligations on publishers and criminalises certain specific behaviours (called "press offences"), particularly concerning defamation. 〔Denis McQuail, Media Accountability and Freedom of Publication, ''fn'' 7, p. 116.

The Press Law was passed under the French Third Republic in 1881 by the then-dominant Opportunist Republicans who sought to liberalise the press and promote free public discussion. The new law swept away a swathe of earlier statutes, stating at the outset the principle that "Printing and publication are free". Prior to 1881, French law had a complex and unclear set of laws that regulated public commentary. Slander was regulated by a thicket of jurisprudence that had grown during the century, and numerous laws had been enacted to regulate the press and public censorship at various points during the republican and monarchist regimes of the 19th century. In total, 42 different laws containing 325 separate clauses regulating the press were in force, having been passed over a period of 75 years by ten different governments.〔Raymond Kuhn, ''The Media in France'', pp. 47-49. Routledge, 1994. ISBN 0-415-01458-1〕 Slander against public officials attacked in their public functions was criminalised under a law of 1819, but by 1880 the distinction between private and public affronts had become far from clear.〔Robert A. Nye, ''Masculinity and Male Codes of Honor in Modern France'', pp. 175-176. Oxford University Press, 1993. ISBN 0-19-504649-8〕 The free exercise of published speech was further limited by onerous requirements to obtain prior authorisation from the government and deposit a sum of "caution money".
