About this title

Synopsis

This casebook covers the law and regulation of electronic media (the "fifth estate") in the United States in a manner suitable for both law and communications students. The text covers decisions by Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and the courts. Before detailing regulations, laws, and cases, the book introduces the legal, technological, and economic environment of electronic media regulation. The remainder of the work is divided into separate sections devoted to the law and regulation of electronic media alone and to law and regulation applicable to both print and electronic media.
