Emerging Media: Virtual Issues, Legal Principles introduces
contemporary media and information studies students to the nexus
between law and emerging media technology. With a goal to present a
clear and succinct overview of communication and media law, the
text presents legal doctrines in accessible terms and in the
context of current issues and technology. Author Jason Zenor
encourages students to think critically about the psychological,
social, and political harms that communication technology can
cause. Students are exposed to a myriad of current examples that
reflect issues in today's media environment, with legal analysis of
how these issues could be resolved. Specific topical areas include
censorship, false speech, privacy, civil liability, obscenity,
identity rights, intellectual property, consumer protection, and
market regulation. Each chapter concludes with a case study and
discussion questions so students can apply the legal doctrine to a
communication technology problem. Emerging Media provides students
with a timely and valuable focus on legal and policy issues
attendant to new communication technologies.
As the power of computing continues to advance, companies have
become increasingly dependent on technology to perform their
operational requirements and to collect, process, and maintain
vital data. This increasing reliance has caused information
technology (IT) auditors to examine the adequacy of managerial
control in information systems and related operations to assure
necessary levels of effectiveness and efficiency in business
processes. In order to perform a successful assessment of a
business's IT operations, auditors need to keep pace with the
continued advancements being made in this field. IT Auditing Using
a System Perspective is an essential reference source that
discusses advancing approaches within the IT auditing process, as
well as the necessary tasks in sufficiently initiating, inscribing,
and completing IT audit engagement. Applying the recommended
practices contained in this book will help IT leaders improve IT
audit practice areas to safeguard information assets more
effectively with a concomitant reduction in engagement area risks.
Featuring research on topics such as statistical testing,
management response, and risk assessment, this book is ideally
designed for managers, researchers, auditors, practitioners,
analysts, IT professionals, security officers, educators,
policymakers, and students seeking coverage on modern auditing
approaches within information systems and technology.
