Review (PDF) Communications Law: Liberties, Restraints, And The Modern Media
The new edition of COMMUNICATIONS LAW continues with the reviewer-praised readability, coverage of core topics, and currency that have been its consistent strengths. The author's interesting, hypothetical exercises have been a favorite among both professors and students. As in previous editions, the Fifth Edition includes a thorough update of cases and information to keep the text current.

I have used it for text book for my Media course. It worked well except for different page number with the new edition that my teacher was using. There are some marks on the book, but that was actually helpful with my studying. Thanks a lot.
The information gets an A. The punctuation gets a D. And yes, if you're writing about communications, the latter matters.Beginning with a hypothetical case, each chapter proceeds through various issues within a specific topic. Zelezny then illustrates each issue with examples of the court cases that created the precedents with which we now live as law.Some of the issues he raises will also likely raise your blood pressure, especially if you are a complete or nearly complete free speech advocate.He makes it abundantly clear that we do not have a right to free speech and expression in the United States unless we are willing to defend it. Even then, a defense through the courts may not be enough to ensure our rights.I think James Madison would cry if he knew the current state of the First Amendment.
If you want to know what's behind the media and just how far our laws have come in allowing questionable "things." Radio, T.V. ratings etc... then this is the book you'll want to read.
I was pleased with the time it took to get this book, but mostly the condition. It was in very good condition just as described by the seller and I would buy from them again.
