Editorial Review: Product Description: This market-leading text discusses the most relevant mass media legal decisions, from the Constitution to the most recent Supreme Court sessions, in relation to their relevance to modern American law. From the Internet to political advertising laws, Mass Media Law examines the current issues that are shaping the United States' legal system. Known for its clear explanations and its consistent pedagogy, the text includes mid-chapter summaries, a table of cases, a separate additional table of contents for Internet-related cases and issues, and more. The new edition has been heavily revised to include many new cases and updated coverage of important current media law concerns, including the right of reporters to protect their sources, censorship problems related to terrorism, file sharing, and the law of privacy and ethics.

 Rating:  - Wonderful for the working journalistThis book is up to date and comprehensive, but well organized and accessible enough for the non lawyer who needs to know the ins and outs of current First Amendment decisions.

I think professors are just as able to teach a course successfully in class without assigning books such ...

It is updated on a regular basis to include recent, relevant cases. It also thoroughly examines the classic cases that have established the basis for freedom of press in this country. As a former journalist, I found the text invaluable. As a professor now at Campbellsville University, I continue to find it invaluable. It provides the general knowledge of mass media law that my students ... Read More Rating: - Leading Text for the Thinking StudentThis book is pretty expensive, but it's a rare example of a college textbook that actually justifies its premium price. Not only is it robust in size and quantity of material, but it's also written in an enlightening manner by a couple of the leading educators in the field. Also, this is not necessarily a law school textbook, but is more tailored to upperclassmen in communications, particularly journalism students who want or need a solid grounding in the areas of law that will impact their work. The opening ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
