This timely book explores how the internet and social media have
permanently altered the media landscape, enabling new actors to
enter the marketplace and changing the way that news is generated,
published and consumed. It examines the importance of citizen
journalists, whose newsgathering and publication activities have
made them crucial to public discourse and central actors in the
communication revolution. Investigating how the internet and social
media have enabled citizen journalism to flourish, and what this
means for the traditional institutional press, the public sphere,
and media freedom, the book demonstrates how communication and
legal theory are applied in practice. Peter Coe advances a concept
of 'media as a constitutional component', which distinguishes media
from non-media actors based on the functions they perform, rather
than institutional status, and uses this to provide a conceptual
framework that recognises modern newsgathering and publication
methods. This interdisciplinary book analyses the legal challenges
created across a range of topical issues, including online
anonymity and pseudonymity, defamation, privacy and public
interest, contempt of court and press regulation. Media Freedom in
the Age of Citizen Journalism will be a key resource for students,
scholars, practitioners and policy-makers of information and media
law, constitutional administrative law, communication and media
studies, journalism and philosophy.

Sustained success over years at the top of international
competition does not come easily in track athletics, and some
distances in particular demand higher commitment and total body
fitness of the athlete. This is just one of the many aspects
assessed in this informative and important new book by Peter Coe,
the coach behind his son's success in nine World Records and three
World Bests. The 800 and 1500m events are analysed in detail to
provide an understanding of what is required to race and win. All
vital components of event training are included from fitness
testing; mental conditioning and multi-pace training to post-event
analysis. For anyone involved in coaching middle distance running
this book will help separate the winners from the losers and
develop the conditions for successful running. There is a foreword
by Sir Roger Bannister.
This new addition to Hart's acclaimed Landmark Cases series is a
diverse and engaging edited collection bringing together eminent
commentators from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia,
Canada, and New Zealand, to analyse cases of enduring significance
to privacy law. The book tackles the conceptual nature of privacy
in its various guises, from data protection, to misuse of private
information, and intrusion into seclusion. It explores the
practical issues arising from questions about the threshold of
actionability, the function of remedies, and the nature of damages.
The cases selected are predominantly English but include cases from
the United States (because of the formative influence of United
States' privacy jurisprudence on the development of privacy law),
Australia, Canada, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and
the European Court of Human Rights. Each chapter considers the
reception and application (and, in some instances, rejection)
outside of the jurisdiction where the case was decided.
