Additional updates include an expanded glossary and new companion website materials.

Industry Reviews

Kyu Ho Youm, School of Journalism and Communication, University of Oregon, USA: 'Probably the first of its kind for undergrads [...] No title comparable to the book [...] focus on more comprehensive examination of media law issues is recommended. Most of the major media law topics should be more extensively discussed [...] the author's look at France, China, India, Japan, and Saudi Arabia could have been more informative' If you would consider using the book on your course, would this be as a core text or supplementary reading? 'Core text.'

Mike Jempson, School of Film & Journalism, University of the West of England, UK: 'Comprehensive study of the field, with solid references and the benefit of personal experience' [...] Is the content sufficiently international in its coverage? 'It is but, in my view, would benefit from more European comparisons given UK membership of EU, treaty obligations & directives, European Court of Human Rights, Council of Europe & OSCE - even though the journalistic cultures vary' [...] To what extent does the structure of the book match the structure of your course? 'Fairly well - enough to use extracts and refer more academic students to it' [...] If the book is not an essential/required text for your students, please summarise the core revisions that we would need to make, in order for you to consider adopting the book 'More on European comparisons. Perhaps some (essay) questions to encourage reflection at the end of each chapter.'
