Media law for Canadian journalists

"This highly successful book, now available in an updated second edition, has been thoroughly revised to reflect the many recent developments in media law. In addition to explaining the details and repercussions of recent groundbreaking Supreme Court decisions, the new edition also explores legal issues relating to technological changes in the journalism industry. Dean Jobb, an experienced journalist, author, journalism professor, and recognized authority on media law, provides a unique perspective that is designed to make journalists more aware of their rights and the legal limits on their craft. He examines the day-to-day issues faced by reporters and editors, and offers practical advice on how to overcome various obstacles. Using real-life examples and discussions of both criminal and civil law cases, the text explains the rationale behind the laws that affect the media, how those laws are interpreted, and what they mean for journalists. Jobb provides journalists with what they need to know to get the story -- without getting sued."--Publisher.
