Opis

This textbook focuses on the substantive law that governs freedom of expression in the media. The work bases the discussions of the substantive law on the print media, as the press, unlike broadcasting, is substantially unregulated and this lack of regulation raises issues of particular concern regarding the limits of media freedom. The book also considers the contrasting models for control of the media and the impact of the Internet upon them. It covers the impact of the Human Rights Act on media regulation and broadcasting regulation in particular, drawing upon a wide range of sources from the UK, Europe and the USA.

Recenzje

"This is a splendid book in which the authors bravely tackle a huge subject; the effects of the Human Rights Act have been felt in all areas of media law." Tom Welsh, Media Lawyer, May 2007
