This book takes a comprehensive look at the nature and role of the mass media and the rules and regulations governing them. A follow-up to A Textbook on Media Law, first published in 1996, it also reflects developments in the media and media law over the last few years.
It considers the new challenges that advances in technology have brought and the legal response to them: new applications of long-held legal principles, technology-neutral legislation, a search for global solutions to global problems.
