| Summary: | "Updated with major Supreme Court decisions through 1990, this newly-revised edition provides a carefully-edited collection of major cases and important articles from leading law journals about obscenity, censorship, libel, rights of privacy, trial by television, and other First Amendment problems. During the 1960s and continuing through today, Supreme Court Justices have been willing to speak out on a series of questions that have had wide-ranging impacts on the mass media. This legal activism on issues such as prior restraint, government regulation, public access to the media, and motion picture censorship, has increased the importance of media law, making this book essential reading for students of mass communications and for professionals in the field."--Publisher's description |
