In a world where anyone can become a media producer, everyone should know something about media law both to protect their own rights and to avoid violatingthe rights of others. Digital Media Law is the first media law text to respond to digitalization and globalization--the two most significant agents of change in the 21st century. Designed to appeal to a broader audience of communication and digital media students, as well as journalism and law students, Digital Media Law covers salient issues from freedom of expression to commercial speech and information access. An accompanying website provides updates on new rulings, access to slip opinions, and other supplementary material, and a section on legal research teaches students to find the law on their own. For students of both media and law, this book is a timely introduction to an important new field.Ashley Packard is an Associate Professor of communication and digital media studies at the University of Houston Clear Lake, where she chairs the Digital Media Studies graduate program. She has been teaching digital media law for more than a decade, and her articles on the subject have been published in the Journal of International Media & Entertainment Law, Communication Law & Policy, Communications and the Law, University of Georgia Journal of Intellectual Property Law, Law/Technology and the International Encyclopedia of Communication.
