The book covers laws that impact the daily work of authors, broadcasters, public relations professionals, photographers, bloggers, and other public communicators.

   The authors present statutes and cases in an easily understandable manner, ensuring that even students new to legal studies can grasp the legal issues concerning the media. The book examines legal subjects such as defamation, privacy, intellectual property, obscenity, and access to information, while also analyzing the evolution and current status of relevant laws and notable cases. It explores the impact of these laws on public, political, and commercial communication. The twelfth edition delves into current discussions, including proposals to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, legislation on net neutrality, participant monitoring, the “actual malice” standard for litigation against journalists, and the prosecution of Julian Assange under the Espionage Act. It also addresses social media issues, such as whether public officials’ use of social media constitutes a public forum, liability for defamation, and the functioning of Facebook’s Oversight Board.

   The Law of Public Communication is an excellent core textbook for courses in communication law and mass media law at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
