Media and Entertainment Law is a fast growing sector of practice in the European Communities, and in the United Kingdom in particular. This annual publication provides both high quality analysis of topical issues and thorough surveys of key areas of practice. Up to date and informative, the Yearbook is well-established as an indispensable part of every media and entertainment lawyer's library.

This crucial volume focusing on free speech, media, and law confronts complicated issues that are of interest not only to media law scholars, but to anyone concerned with the First Amendment. It questions whether freedom of speech is identical to freedom of the press and explores why the law restrains free speech for broadcast media but not for traditional print media. In dealing with the often opposing ideals of the rights of the media versus the rights of the individual, this volume tackles difficult legal and social questions of the day.
