Major Principles of Media Law, 2009 - Tapa blanda

"The text is more concise than other ones I have considered for adoption. The text is written in an extremely user-friendly manner, and my students appear to retain more of what they read from Overbeck's text. They share more in class discussions." "I find that Overbeck's approach to media law, with its straightforward descriptions and timely context, keeps me coming back year after year. I really like the completeness of the annual updates, and I think that this book covers the major cases thoroughly and thoughtfully." "It is written in a style accessible to non-specialist undergraduates. It provides just the right amount of contextualization for the major cases so that students can understand the impact of the cases on communication rights and responsibilities and develop a historical lens through which to view the evolution of media law and of the Bill of Rights." "As a member of the state and federal bar in Iowa, and as one who has taught media law at the college level for 18 years, I can appreciate the efforts Overbeck has put into making the material accessible to students. I am always looking for new ways to teach the course, and this text comes even closer to meeting the needs of a general, mass comm audience than ever before."
