developments through the end of the Supreme Court's 2006-2007 term.

foundations of free speech protection, modern prior restraints, libel
and slander, the right of privacy, copyrights and trademarks, fair
trial-free press conflicts, news gatherer's privilege, freedom of
information, obscenity and the law, regulation of electronic media,
media ownership issues, advertising and the law, and freedom of the
student press.
Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"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."
