'Media Law and Ethics' is a truly comprehensive overview and a thoughtful introduction to media law principle and cases as well as related ethical concerns relevant to the practice of professional communication. Since it integrates both current law and ethical queries, it is ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses in media law and ethics. New co-author Dr Kyu Ho Youm helps provide this new edition with an international scope, having written a chapter in the previous edition on international and foreign law. The book also covers the most timely and incendiary issues in modern American media. The new fifth edition has been updated with current events, and discusses the potential impact they have.
