Essential Media Law
No Customer Reviews
UK law can affect what words you use as a broadcaster on the radio, in a podcast, on a blog or on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. There are always dangers of
prejudicing someone's right to a good name or a fair trial by falling foul of the law of Defamation or being in Contempt of Court. If you get things wrong legally, the simple act of doing a link on a music radio show, writing a news story, uploading a podcast or hitting the 'send' button on a tweet, could cost you thousands of pounds in damages and legal costs. And in some cases, you could even be jailed. Because of social media, today we are ALL broadcasters or publishers - and we have the responsibilities that go with that. This book is an easy-to-understand guide to the law for radio, podcasts and social media. It's illustrated with lots of real-life examples of when things have gone wrong and what to do to ensure you stay within the law. It covers the essentials of Defamation, Contempt of Court, Privacy, Court Reporting, Election Coverage and Copyright. Essential Media Law is written by two highly experienced broadcasters, PAUL CHANTLER and PAUL HOLLINS, and is an updated version of their three previous books on the subject Hang The DJ? Twibel and Keep It Legal. The Foreword is by HUW EDWARDS, Chief Presenter, BBC News.
