Media Law and Ethics

About this book

This fully revised seventh edition provides a thorough introduction to both the legal and ethical considerations relevant to students pursuing careers in media, law and communication.

This comprehensive textbook integrates fundamental legal and ethical principles with cases and examples from both landmark moments and recent history. It incorporates discussion of new technologies and media throughout its coverage of core topics such as intellectual property, defamation and commercial speech. This edition introduces readers to media law in comparative international communication and explores topics such as data mining, artificial intelligence and the dark web. Coverage of recent court cases and congressional hearings bring readers up to date on the evolving discussion surrounding Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and today's other major online sources.

This hybrid textbook is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in media and communication that combine law and ethics.

Online resources, including sample syllabi and a test bank, are available at www.routledge.com/9781032612928.
