| Summary |
"This book is vital to anyone connected with the media: students, broadcasters, lawyers, executives, academics, and citizens. It offers the first and only analysis of this important area. More than a text on the letter of the law, it explains what the law is supposed to do, what it actually does, and where it is heading. The book outlines the departments, tribunals, federations and other bodies concerned with communications, and places them in perspective with a history of broadcasting law. It gives access to a range of sources and documents which have been almost impenetrable until now." -- back cover |
