Australian Media Law

Australian Media Law is written in plain English to introduce students to the complex set of Acts & case law which regulate media practice from the level of journalism & advertising to multimedia, broadcasting & narrowcasting. It is a concise, informative & well researched treatment of the current rules of Australian media law. The book is structured around key legal concepts but presents them in the context of media practice. Presented in a clear format, Australian Media Law is supported by learning objectives for students, diagrams, charts, tables & an extensive subject index. "The book reads very well, & is a concise, informative & generally well-researched treatment of the present-day rules of Australian media law. The style is attractive & generally consistent, & the format is easy to follow ... It should, I think, be entirely suitable as a basic text for LLB & LLM subjects in this area. There is no doubt that it fills a gap in the literature in this area."--Professor Michael Chesterman, Faculty of Law, UNSW.Butler, Des is the author of 'Australian Media Law', published 1999 under ISBN 9780455216751 and ISBN 0455216754.
