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.
