"Though written primarily for an American audience, this book is
likely to be useful to students, practitioners and researchers in
other jurisdictions as well. It covers a wide range of issues such
as defamation, privacy, obscenity, copyright and contempt of court
which are generic to all media as well as matters specific to the
electronic media, such as TV regulation, "must-carry" rules, radio
traffic jams, etc."
