SAVING PRIVACY FROM HISTORY Samantha Barbas* INTRODUCTION We are in the midst of a privacy panic.1 Panicking about privacy is nothing new; we have been worried about privacy and its loss for over a hundred years now, since at least 1890, when Warren and Brandeis wrote The Right to Privacy, the foundational text of the tort law of privacy. 2 Warren and Brandeis envisioned the "right to privacy" as a means to address what were perceived as serious threats to privacy and identity posed by the new media of the day-yellow journalism, gossip columns, and kodak photography. Our privacy concerns are arguably more intense now, and with good reason-new technologies can track our thoughts, movements, and intimacies and expose them to a global audience in an instant. We have very little privacy, and we have not gotten over it.3 It is widely recognized that the tort action proposed by Warren and Brandeis, written into law in most states over the twentieth century, failed to provide the kind of protection against the media that the authors had envisioned.4 As many have convincingly argued, tort pri- vacy is especially inadequate to address the needs of the twenty-first century, when new technologies magnify privacy injuries.5 There have * Associate Professor of Law, State University of New York at Buffalo.

This Article focuses on the history of the privacy tort, which permits damages for dignitary injuries caused by unwanted and embarrassing publicity of private facts and images.8 Currently, publicly disclosing "a matter concerning the private life of another" constitutes a tort in most states if it "would be highly offensive to a reasonable person, and Mainstreaming Privacy Torts, 98 CALIF.

The history of the Warren and Brandeis tort has been misrepresented, misunderstood, and underutilized in much of the legal scholarship. The standard account begins with the 1890 War- ren and Brandeis article, goes to the famous 1960 law review article, Privacy, by William Prosser, then to the present day. This narrative overemphasizes the writings of legal theorists and fails to appreciate the interesting and important work taking place in the courts, and in twentieth- century American culture more broadly, in defining the contours of the right to privacy and the boundaries of acceptable publicity. For works that incorporate a historical approach, see Ran- dall P. Bezanson, The Right to Privacy Revisited: Privacy, News, and Social Change, 1890-1990, 80 CALIF. L. REV. 1133 (1992); Benjamin E.

REV. 289 (2002); James Q. Whitman, The Two Western Cultures of Privacy: Dignity Versus Liberty, 113 YALE L.J. 1151 (2004); Zimmerman, supra note 4. 8. In 1960, William Prosser divided the privacy tort into four branches: (1) intrusion upon the seclusion of another, (2) unreasonable publicity given to another's private life, (3) appropriation of another's name and likeness, and (4) publicity that unreasonably places another in a false light before the public. See William L. Prosser, Privacy, 48 CALIF. L. REV. 383, 389 (1960). The cases discussed in this Article primarily fall under the second and fourth branches. 2012] SAVING PRIVACY FROM HISTORY 975 is not of legitimate concern to the public."9 Mass media publicity is not a required element of the tort, although the right to privacy was conceived as a legal response to the perceived abuses of the popular press. A significant number of tort privacy cases have involved media defendants, and these cases are the focus of this Article.10 Under the privacy tort, liability can be imposed for the publicity of material that is "private." According to the prevailing doctrine, most anything that takes place outside the home is not private, nor is infor- mation disclosed to even a few other persons. Thus, an intimate scene outdoors, such as a burial, or a secret shared with a group of friends can be "public" under the law." On the issue of what is a privileged matter of public concern, or "newsworthy," courts have often deferred to the media. Gruesome photos, stories of accidents and crimes, and the embarrassing details of an individual's personal life have been held to be newsworthy matters of public concern apparently by virtue of the fact that they appeared in the press.12 These rules fail to capture the complex and nuanced ways that we understand and experience privacy in real life. They are also out- dated. They were, for the most part, created several decades ago, in the period roughly between the 1920s and the 1950s. The rules were built around a set of assumptions about the nature of personal identity in mass society, the capabilities and limitations of existing technolo- gies, and the social functions of the mass media.

  • Acceleration and Enrichment: Drawing the Base Lines for Further Study
    1 ACCELERATION AND ENRICHMENT: DRAWING THE BASELINES FOR FURTHER STUDY Sanford J. Cohn THE CONTROVERSY IN PERSPECTIVE For nearly forty years prior to 1970, the acceleration versus enrichment argument lay dormant as far as the public was concerned. The Great Depression had eliminated the prerogative for public-interested disagreement for all but a few educational and psychological investigators. Before that time, however, there had been proponents of educational acceleration and others who favored enrich- ment. Each group considered its own a singularly appropriate underlying strategy for educating intellectually gifted youngsters. But with few jobs waiting for graduates after 1929, there seemed to be no reason or purpose even for brilliant students to finish their formal schooling. In the ensuing absence of public debate, the unrivaled assumptions implied, and even voiced, by advocates for enrich- ment became entrenched firmly in the nation’s public consciousness. Some of these assumptions were clear expressions of the mythology that had developed in regard to great intellectual talent and precocity. ‘‘Early ripe, early rot’’ was but one epigram that encouraged educators of the mid-1900s to suppress actively the rapid intellectual development experienced by some youths. Parents of such children were counseled to avoid even considering accelerative educational plans for their children. The price one ‘‘surely’’ would have to pay for moving more rapidly through the educational lock step than did one’s age mates washis or her ‘‘social and emotional adjustment.’’ Counselors predicted lives characterized by loneliness and despair for these children if they chose to skip a grade in school or even to move ahead more quickly in certain subjects.

Queens for a Day: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and the Neoliberal Project Abstract This paper moves beyond a conventional critique of Bravo's popular makeover show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy that focuses on gay stereotyping to consider how the show puts gay cultural expertise to work to reform a heterosexual masculinity that is compatible with the neoliberal moment. By analyzing 40 episodes of the show, in addition to a number of related texts, the author considers the newly public acknowledgement of gay taste and consumer expertise; the "crisis of masculinity" that requires that heterosexual men must now attend to their relationships, image, and domestic habitus; and the remaking of the straight guy into not only an improved romantic partner - the metrosexual - but a more flexible, employable worker. The author concludes by considering how camp deconstructs some of Queer Eye's most heteronormative aims, even while leaving its class and consumption rationales intact.

  • The History of IQ Author: Alistair Duff
    Perspectives articles The history of IQ Author: Alistair Duff It can be quite difficult to unravel the history of the notion of IQ and its assimilation into our everyday lives. The now ubiquitous IQ test was first used on a large scale to assess the capabilities of candidates for the American military during World War I. The topic quickly became the subject of great interest as it was correlated with everything from business success to life fulfilment. People wanted to know if they were gifted, how they could become gifted, and certainly how to treat their children who were, somewhat subjectively, very likely to be gifted. The sudden need to understand the efficacy of the individual mind took a serious and sinister detour shortly after IQ fever hit. On 11 January 1924, the New York Times published an editorial under the title “Precocity doesn’t wear well”. The subject of the piece was, according to folklore at the time, the most intelligent man in history. Born on 1 April 1898 in New York City, William James Sidis was the prototype child prodigy who was apparently able to read The New York Times with ease at a tender 18 months old. By age eight, William not only had eight languages under his belt, he also demonstrated exceptional mathematical abilities. His parents, overcome with pride, believed much of this was attributable to their philosophy of nurturing “a precocious and fearless love of knowledge”. This was to become an exceedingly unfortunate quote that the New York Times would refer back to in due course.

  • FLYING RECORDS ARE Being Broken Every Few Days, but When
    FLYING RECORDS ARE Being broken every few days, but when we think a temperature record has been broken someone digs up a high or low figure that has, not been surpassed. According to Professor Simpson, who keeps the records at the University of North Dakota, minus 44 degrees is the lowest temperature ever officially recorded at Grand Forks, and he suggests that that low temperature may have been equaled at Grand Forks on an earlier occasion 'before a station was established here, but when records were kept at various army posts in other parts of the state. The New York Times tells us that on January 10, 1875, the thermometer in Manhattan registered 6 degrees below zero. That record stood until December 30, 1917, when a mark of 13 below was reached. That is the low record for New York so far as known. The abnormally high records of this summer were about the same as those of 1872, 1896 and 1898. If one only had the records there is an all-time high and an all-time low for every locality. Those extremes are approached occasionally, and once in a long time one of them is passed. But in spite of all that we may think about weather extremes and changes in climatic conditions, it has at some time been just about as hot and just about as cold at some other time as now, and the temperatures of the present are just as extreme as those of former years.

  • The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios
    1 The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is a unique look at the events that preceded the need for CBS television studios in Hollywood and, as in New York, the radio division is leading the way. This project is somewhat different than the prior reports on the New York studios of CBS and NBC, for two reasons. The first reason is that in that in those reports, television was brand new and being developed through the mechanical function to an electronic phenomenon. Most of that work occurred in and around their headquarters in New York. In this case, both CBS and NBC are at the mercy of geological and technological developments outside their own abilities…namely the Rocky Mountains and AT&T. The second reason has to do with the success of the network’s own stars. Their popularity on radio soon translated to public demand once “talking pictures” became possible. That led many New York based radio stars to Hollywood and, in a way, Mohammed had to come to the mountain. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me as this is an ongoing project.
