European and
International Media Law
by Professor Jan
Oster (Author)
This book is the
first to incorporate current academic literature and case law on European,
transnational, and international media law into a comprehensive overview
intended primarily for students. It introduces the legal framework for
globalised communication via mass media, and considers the transformative
effect globalisation has had on domestic media law. Engaging case examples at
the beginning of each chapter, and questions at the end, give students a
clearer idea of legal problems and encourage them to think critically. A wide
variety of topics - including media economics, media technology, and social
norms concerning media publications - are discussed in relation to media law,
and numerous references to case law and suggestions for further reading allow
students to conduct independent research easily.
