The Press Freedom Act of 29 July 1881 (French: Loi sur la liberté de la presse of 29 Juillet 1881), often called the Press Law of 1881 or the Lisbon Law after its rapporteur, Eugène Lisbon, 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 posting of advertisements on public roads. Although it has been amended several times since its adoption, it remains in force until today.
