SERIES<br />
LIBRARY OF ESSAYS IN MEDIA LAW<br />
Series Editors: Eric Barendt, University College London, UK and Thomas Gibbons, University of Manchester, UK<br />
‘By the standards of major reference works in media law, it would be hard to find a parallel for this set of four books.’ The Commonwealth Lawyer<br />
There is now a rich and diverse literature on many aspects of media law and regulation. The aim of this series is to present the most significant articles and papers,<br />
grouped around particular themes. The series covers topics which have been explored in legal periodicals for many years as well as those which deal with more modern<br />
aspects of the law, such as how electronic media should be regulated. The editors have drawn on articles from around the world which discuss issues from a theoretical<br />
or comparative perspective. Taken together, these four volumes offer an invaluable resource to students and scholars interested in all aspects of media law.<br />

Free Speech in the New Media<br />
Edited by Thomas Gibbons, University of Manchester, UK<br />
Library of Essays in Media Law<br />
‘This collection provides an insight into how the logic of the new media<br />
will ultimately compel the law.’<br />
Law Society Journal<br />
The essays in this volume consider questions of political and constitutional principle<br />
and theory that affect the law and regulation of content in new media that are based<br />
on digital technology. They examine a range of issues such as whether the justifications<br />
for government intervention in traditional analogue broadcasting and program<br />
delivery continue to be persuasive; whether new approaches to freedom of expression<br />
are required in the digital era; whether there is a continued role for public service<br />
broadcasting or its equivalent and whether there is a case for the European Union’s<br />
measures to secure ‘Television without Frontiers.’<br />

Freedom of the Press<br />
Edited by Eric Barendt, University College London, UK<br />
Library of Essays in Media Law<br />
This volume brings together seminal articles by leading international scholars on all<br />
aspects of press freedom. Topics covered include the meaning of press freedom and its<br />
relationship to freedom of speech, the extent to which self-regulation is a satisfactory<br />
alternative to legal controls, whether courts should apply the same constitutional<br />
principles to privacy actions as those developed in libel law, and how far celebrities<br />
are entitled to claim privacy rights when they are photographed in public places.<br />
The essays also explore the various solutions adopted in the USA and in some<br />
Commonwealth countries to balancing the freedom of the press and other media<br />
against the laws of libel and privacy.<br />

Media Freedom and Contempt of Court<br />
Edited by Eric Barendt, University College London, UK<br />
Library of Essays in Media Law<br />
These essays discuss the restrictions imposed by contempt of court and other laws on<br />
media freedom to attend and report legal proceedings. In particular, they consider the<br />
open justice principle and whether open justice entails a right to film and broadcast<br />
legal proceedings; the application of contempt of court to prejudicial media publicity<br />
and whether it is possible to prevent prejudice without sacrificing media freedom; and<br />
whether journalists should have the right not to reveal their sources of information.<br />

Regulating Audiovisual Services<br />
Edited by Thomas Gibbons, University of Manchester, UK<br />
Library of Essays in Media Law<br />
The adoption of digital technology has resulted in the convergence of broadcasting,<br />
cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony, enabling each of them to deliver<br />
the same kinds of content and allowing users to exercise much greater choice over<br />
the kind of material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays in this<br />
volume examine issues that have arisen from the changing nature of audiovisual<br />
services and their impact on regulatory policy and practice.<br />
