GOVERNING PRINCIPLES OF SWEDISH PRESS LAW

Constitution of Sweden has remarkable feautures due to its institutionalstructure. Because Swedish Constitution doesn’t composed of solely one legal document but composed of four separate constitutional documents. Among thoseconstitutional documents, two of them solely and exclusively regulate freedom ofpress and freedom of expression. Chronologically the first one, namely TheFreedom of Press Act, regulates printed media such as newspapers, books andmagazines while the other one is, namely The Fundamental Law on Freedom ofExpression is aiming to guarantee the freedom of speech in visual and soundmedia such as TV, video and radio. At the very beginning articles of bothdocuments, it is emphasized that every Swedish citizen has a right to publishwritten matter, without prior hindrance by a public authority and not to beprosecuted other than before a lawful court.Both constitutional documentsregulates the same field and interpretated almost in the same manner. These twolegal documents are interpreted and apllied due to the basic principles set outby the right to print, publish and distrubute printed matter, free accsess topublic files and rights and responsibilities of the autors and informants.
