This edition examines new forces influencing media law while
continuing to focus on foundational cases and principles that have
shaped the field since its inception. New material includes
increasing government secrecy and its impact on freedom of
information; the latest on net neutrality; new restrictions on
newsgathering including legislation involving drones; recent
jurisprudential tests that unmask anonymous internet speakers;
increasing potential liability for internet re-publishers despite
older legal protections; newer changes in copyright protections in
the wake of internet publishing; increasing judicial concerns about
privacy and the reshaping of legal determinations including
newsworthiness; and the increasingly difficult-to-answer question
of who deserves shield law and other legal protections
traditionally reserved for journalists. The casebook, written by
authors who collectively have taught and researched media law for
more than a century, focuses on the legal precedents that help
shape judicial and legislative responses to today's new media.
