Digital media law is now the dynamic legal territory. Mass Media
Law: The Printing Press to the Internet is a textbook designed to
introduce students to the panoply of legal theories raised by the
Internet revolution as well as those supporting traditional media.
The book takes a historical approach beginning with the printing
press and the telegraph and proceeding to the digital technologies
of today, such as social media and search engines. Concepts such as
defamation, broadcast regulation, privacy, and free expression are
covered along with new media legal theories including Internet
exceptionalism, cyber libertarianism, and digital speech and
democratic culture. These are introduced to explain why traditional
theories such as First Amendment medium-specific analysis, common
carriage, and network neutrality are just as relevant today as they
were in the early twentieth century. In order to help readers
develop critical reasoning skills, each chapter opens with a highly
readable realworld vignette and goes on to identify and explain
legal doctrines and tests. Key passages from court opinions are
highlighted, and each chapter closes with a list of online media
law resources and thought-provoking questions, including legal
hypotheticals, to give readers a solid understanding of the area in
question. Mass Media Law is designed to be the main text and a
valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate courses covering
media, mass communication, free expression, and journalism law.
