Media Law: Cases Materials and Commentary examines the basic principles of the substantive areas of law affecting the practice of contemporary media organisations including defamation, invasion of privacy and freedom of information. Using carefully selected excerpts from recent cases and legislation and insightful author commentary, the book introduces important media concepts and helps readers put these into both legal and media contexts.

Updated case studies and questions throughout the chapters draw out concepts in the extracted source materials and encourage deeper discussion.
