 One of the best media law sources out there January 26, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've just finished writing a paper for my Advanced Placement Journalism class about freedom of speech and obscenity over the radio. This book was one of my best sources. It portrayed Supreme Court cases and laws passed by Congress in great depth and detail and managed to write it all in a language most Americans will understand. I plan to use this book for every essay I can.

Buy last years edition at 98% off... ISBN# 0073378828
There is no reason this textbook needs to be republished every year. This is pure GREED by the publisher and authors. There is very little, to no new information in the new edition.

I haven't hit my 21st birthday yet, and I've had my share of run-ins with the law, so I was somewhat familiar with the American Penal System before I read this for a class in college. That said, Don Pember patronizes the hell out of this book. On page 492, it says "The photo was a picture of a diary farmer and a cow standing in the field." Yep. A diary farmer. It made the typo; I'm just repeating it. On page 383, it says "Certainly a reporter could not be laid by the heels for contempt because he missed the essential point in a trial or failed to summarize the issues to accord with the views of the judge who sat on the case." On page 370, it uses the word "lawbreaker." Page 269: "Society often judges the rape victim to be as guilty as the rapist." haha god gimme a break
