Book description
Australian Media Law provides an introduction to Australian media law for students and professionals in law, journalism, marketing and advertising. All current legislation, case law and self-regulatory practices that govern media practice are covered. Australian Media Law explores issues raised by both traditional forms of media, such as film, television and newspapers and the more recently developed forms such as the internet, multimedia and digital technology.

Decisions from the High Court such as Dow Jones v Gutnick (defamation) and ABC v Lenah Game Meats (invasion of privacy) are given particular attention. Other areas explored include federal and state racial vilification laws, free speech, copyright, information sources and media regulation and ownership
