Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
MAJOR PRINCIPLES OF MEDIA LAW is a comprehensive and concise summary of media law. The text offers a lawyer's grasp of current cases and a teacher's grasp of the key principles of communication law. The text is revised every year to include the most recent developments in communication law through the end of the Supreme Court's term. Each August, a new edition is available for fall classes, with recent developments through July 1 fully integrated into the text, not added as an appendix or separate supplement.

4 out of 5 stars Informative but a slog   January 12, 2009
Melanie Audette (Indianapolis, IN United States)
This is not a bad book, but it often is confusing because the reader must slog through some dense thickets, e.g., court decisions going first one way, then the other, then back again. Although knowing the history is helpful, sometimes it is difficult to remember where the cases all end up. Maybe this is taboo for a law book, but some visuals and charts would certainly be helpful. Maybe someone can write an accompanying manual.
