  • AJrl 320: Media Law

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY at Albany

    The First Amendment remains a concept unique in the world. No discussion of media law in American would be complete without understanding our Constitutional guarantees to freedom of speech and of the press. AT the same time -given the corporatization of modern media, conflicting regulatory demands, and global constraints on free speech- it is imperative that students understand the case law and legal precedents under which journalism is practiced. Topics include the historical development of First Amendment rights and of the laws governing libel, privacy, confidentiality, public access to information, fair trials, broadcasting, copyright, anti-trust, pornography, and other pertinent issues.
