Reviews

The second edition of Digital Media Law is a welcome update to the field of media law in the U.S., especially for students and teachers who are keen to expand their horizons in the global 21st century. ? Kyu Ho Youm, Jonathan Marshall First Amendment Chair Professor, University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication ?Ashley Packard?s new edition of Digital Media Law keeps it on the cutting edge of illuminating the subject in terms of digitalization and internationalization ? the driving forces through which students today ever more instinctively understand their lives and their professions.? ? Robert L. Kerr, Ph.D., University of Oklahoma ?Ashley Packard?s work on the second edition of Digital Media Law is impressive. The readable text keeps students engaged with recent cases; provides challenging discussion questions; and references Internet resources that encourage critical thinking about legal issues in today?s converging media environment.? - Nathaniel Frederick II, Winthrop University
