Law of Mass Communications: Freedom and Control of Print and Broadcast Media (Coursebook)

The Fourteenth Edition retains the “old-school” research and analysis coupled with continuing developments in media law. Principles of law are under the pressures of accommodating new methods of communication and a willingness to give up privacy in return for ease of access to information and social groups. The text deals with the service function of media in light of developments regarding access to information, campaign spending and the ability to criticize government.
