Description

Media and the Law 2nd Edition David Kohler ISBN 9780769852775

While providing a comprehensive survey of the media law landscape, Media and the Law, Second Edition emphasizes real-world problems—those most likely to confront media lawyers and their clients in everyday practice.

Part I addresses foundational definitional and constitutional issues, beginning with an exploration of how the media is defined in the twenty-first century and why these definitions matter. It then examines the overarching First Amendment principles that distinguish media law from other areas of law.

Parts II and III focus on legal issues arising from the dissemination of information and the collection of information, covering civil and criminal liability as well as affirmative rights of access.

Part IV explores more specialized, yet significant, legal matters related to the media business, including challenges created by the electronic dissemination of information. This second edition has been substantially updated to address legal issues posed by new communication technologies, including social media and the Internet. It also incorporates an increased number of cases from outside the United States, providing a comparative perspective essential for any lawyer advising clients in today’s globally distributed media environment.

Each chapter begins with a brief overview that contextualizes the topic, followed by edited cases and legal scholarship. Many chapters also include review problems designed to help students synthesize and apply the material.
