This book differs from others on media law by emphasising the increasingly important regulatory and European aspects, giving less prominence to more traditional common law topics. The authors adopt a comparative approach, drawing upon material form the USA and commonwealth jurisdictions, as well as examining relevant aspects of Human Rights law.
