About the Book

Current through the most recent Supreme Court term, MAJOR PRINCIPLES OF MEDIA LAW, 2019, delivers a comprehensive summary of the latest additions, changes and developments in communication law. The text fully integrates recent developments through July--the end of the Court's 2017-18 term--and is available in August for fall classes. Reflecting the authors' experience in the courtroom and classroom, the text focuses on the issues more important to media law, while student-friendly features help you truly engage with the material. 'Focus On' sidebars explore key legal issues in more depth, end-of-chapter 'What should I know about my state?' features highlight key issues from your home state, and in-margin definitions of glossary terms make even the most complex topics easy to understand.

"I have found this textbook to be perfectly pitched for the students I teach in terms of language and pace." "It hits the audience well. It covers a lot of areas that I don't have time for in class. And it is easy to read."
