xiii, 323 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm "This book offers a practical guide to the law of media and communication, focusing on digital channels, models, and technologies. It draws together the aspects of media law that are most critical for those engaged in the production and distribution of digital media, from traditional broadcasters and internet-based services to major internet platforms. As an expert scholar and educator in media law, the author brings considerable experience as an in-house lawyer for a U.S.-based media company with extensive news, sports, and entertainment operations. This blend of practical and scholarly insight delivers a textbook which packs foundational principles and concepts into the context of the digital environment, focusing on how those doctrines are applied in the face of rapidly evolving newsgathering, production, and distribution technologies. Now in its second edition, the book has been updated and includes a new chapter on artificial intelligence. It ties legal principles to real-world events or situations, provides insights into digital media policy, and offers an integrated fictional case study of a media enterprise." -- Defining Digital Media -- Law and the U.S. Legal System -- The First Amendment -- Defamation -- Invasion of Privacy -- Newsgathering -- Reporting on the Government -- Commercial Speech and Advertising -- Radio and Television -- The Internet -- Intellectual Property -- Artificial Intelligence Christopher S.
