I would have preferred getting the latest 2015 version of this book, but the 2014 edition is equally recommended, with hardly any significant changes. Even though the text is revised every year, 2014 version helped me perfectly to get through my media - law class in the college. I ordered a second hand (used) version, and the book was still in great condition. The book is also a must have read-list for media law students, and comes handy with quickly revising all major principles / ethics and laws regarding all practices of media. I prefer buying this book from , as it is a lot cheaper here, than the book stores.

This was book is not laid out well at all. Very few key words. It's hard to tell where one chapter ends and the other begins. Though law books are often very dense, this one is hard to process at all.

This is a fantastic in-depth book covering the ins and outs of media law. From "Fair Trial-Free Press Conflicts" to `Closed Courtrooms", `Gag Orders on the Media" it really shows the ins and outs about the media and the law, along with how the public can in essence become the jury in a sensational, high profile case.An interesting, albeit a bit unsettling truth is in this book, I would like to quote comes from page 271:"Even Alan Dershowitz, a prominent law professor who was a member of Simpson's `dream team' of defense attorneys, defended the role of the "dream team" in his book (Reasonable Doubts) by saying:A criminal trial is anything but a pure search for truth. When defense attorneys represent guilty clients-as most do, most of the time-their responsibility is to try, by all fair and ethical means, to PREVENT [ my caps italic in the book] the truth about their client's guilt from emerging. Failure to do so...is malpractice."If you have any interest in fair law, truth, the role and restrictions on the media, and how it all plays out, this book is really a fantastic resource. There is probably an updated edition, however this is the one I have read from cover to cover when it first came out in 2001, and really learned a lot!Barbara Rose, Ph.D. author of Stop being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE and Know YourselfEditor, inspire! magazine

Fairly in-depth book. I learned well from this txt but it is pretty dense so don't expect to just pick it up and read it.It's a good quality but standard college text. Worth the money, I'd say.

Easily the most difficult class I have ever had to take, Communication Law was made significantly less daunting thanks to this textbook. Great information and effectively organized.

Needed it for class, came as described...learned a lot.

but it was required for a Mass Media Law class I had to take. It's good for it's purpose but not an entertaining read by any means.

It got here pretty quickly like I asked but it seemed like it was literally shoved into the packaging. It was like new except when they put it in the package, they ended up dog-earring the cover. It's not that big of deal but it brings the value down when I go to resell it.
