Media Freedom under the Human Rights Act provides the most
comprehensive analysis to date of the impact of Article 10 ECHR, as
received through the Human Rights Act 1998, on the substantive law
governing freedom of expression in the media. Fully up to date, the
book provides extensive coverage of crucial recent developments in
this field; these include: the key cases of Ashworth and Punch in
the area of contempt; the ground-breaking privacy decisions in Von
Hannover v Germany and Campbell v MGN; full consideration of
theoretical approaches to explicit speech and blasphemy, including
a detailed critique of Strasbourg case-law in the area; detailed
discussion of the new offence of incitement to religious hatred;
the new scheme for content regulation of broadcasting under the
Communications Act 2003 in the light of Prolife Alliance; a full
survey of recent domestic and Strasbourg caselaw in the areas of
copyright and political defamation, and analysis of the early
impact of the Freedom of Information Act. The authors - both
leading academics in the field - have drawn on significant
comparative decisions to formulate a coherent and provocative
critique of the relationship between media law and freedom of
expression, and suggested principles which make a significant
contribution to the legal discourse surrounding media freedom in
the Human Rights Act era. The result is a book which provides a
scholarly and theoretically informed analysis of this very topical
subject, of interest to those studying at all levels and practising
in this area of law.
