Regulating the Media draws on political, social and economic theory as well as public law to provide a detailed examination of the legal and constitutional framework of media practice.

This 2nd edition considers the wide-ranging implications of developments since the Broadcasting Act 1990 for regulation of media ownership and finance, including the expansion of satellite and cable, the Press Complaints Commission, independent national radio, and the consolidation of regional television ownership.Contents: Introduction: freedom of the media and responsibility. Economic arrangements: public ownership, franchises and the press. Fairness and quality in media relations: information and opinion. Controls: supervision, complaints mechanisms. Prospects.
