About Media Freedom Under The Human Rights Acts

Product Description This textbook focuses on the substantive law that governs freedom of expression in the media. The work bases the discussions of the substantive law on the print media, as the press, unlike broadcasting, is substantially unregulated and this lack of regulation raises issues of particular concern regarding the limits of media freedom. The book also considers the contrasting models for control of the media and the impact of the Internet upon them. It covers the impact of the Human Rights Act on media regulation and broadcasting regulation in particular, drawing upon a wide range of sources from the UK, Europe and the USA. About the Author Helen Fenwick, Professor of Law, University of Durham Gavin Phillipson, Professor of Law, University of Durham Review "It is a real joy to find a text that authoritatively analyses an area and then presents it in a stimulating and accessible way that shares the authors' passion for their field. This text is a 'must buy' for anyone who shares a modicum of the passion that Fenwick and Phillipson ooze through the pags of this book." Chris Ashford, University of Sunderland, The Law Teacher, Volume 41 Number 1 Review "This is a splendid book in which the authors bravely tackle a huge subject; the effects of the Human Rights Act have been felt in all areas of media law." Tom Welsh, Media Lawyer, May 2007
