Comparative Media Law And Ethics

Providing practical and theoretical resources on media law and ethics for the United Kingdom and United States of America and referencing other legal jurisdictions such as France, Japan, India, China and Saudi Arabia, Comparative Media Law and Ethics is suitable for upper undergraduate and postgraduate study and for professionals in the media who need to work internationally.

This book takes a unique approach to the subject in critically examining how and why media laws are made and covering the debates on what they ought to be. The author develops three new areas of discourse: media jurisprudence – the philosophy of media law making; media ethicology – the moral enquiry into the ethics of individual media communicators, and media ethicism – the political philosophical enquiry into the belief systems of media communicators
