Download or read book Libel Law Political Criticism and Defamation of Public Figures written by Peter Nkrumah Amponsah and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amponsah studies political defamation laws in the United States, the European Court of Human Rights, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Prevailing jurisprudence of each area weighs political speech against reputation through a preferred balancing approach which gives more protection to political speech. While the different jurisdictions place greater interest in political speech than individual reputation in matters of public concern and governance, all used multiple rationales such as the marketplace of ideas, self-fulfillment, search for truth, and democratic self-government principles to justify protection of political speech. Democratic jurisdictions give heightened protection for political speech by assimilating into their libel laws values embodied in multiple rationales for protecting political speech.

Download or read book Powers of the Press written by Aled Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of the popular press presents all modern societies with difficulties. It is, however, a problem with a history: the hold of the press over public opinion was debated with urgency throughout the 19th century. This book looks at the ways in which individuals, pressure groups, political organisations and the state sought to understand the mass communications media of the 19th century, and use them to influence public opinion and effect moral and social reform. Aled Jones addresses the problem by using three approaches: first he considers the 19th century theories of the influence of communications media on patterns of social thought and behaviour; then he examines attitudes towards the press in both high and popular culture; finally he explores the social and intellectual world of the reader, the consumer both of the press as a commodity and of the hidden moral strategies that were built into it. The tensions between Victorian moral imperatives and the operation of the free commercial market raised issues of great public concern, such as whether the mass media should be under private or public control. These tensions have dominated the way in which Britain and other western societies have thought about the newer broadcasting media, but their origins are older and more complex than studies of contemporary media acknowledge.

Download or read book The Law of Defamation and the Internet written by Matthew Collins and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet is the first truly global communications medium. Anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can publish material to a potentially vast audience located in any number of countries around the world. The Internet is, at the same time, a great bastion of free speech and amedium of almost limitless international defamation.This title contains the first comprehensive analysis of the application of Anglo-Australian rules of civil defamation law to material published via the Internet. As well as addressing the common law rules as they apply in the United Kingdom and Australia, it covers the operation of statutorymodifications of the common law in each jurisdiction, the specific defences applying to Internet intermediaries, the European Union's Electronic Commerce Directive and comparative case-law from the United States. It also contains a substantial treatment of the relevant principles of jurisdictionand choice of law. The work contains a clear and non-technical explanation of how the Internet works and the various ways in which it is used to publish material. Common Internet terms are defined in a glossary. Relevant legislation has been extracted and reproduced.As this is a field in which there are, as yet, few authorities and a large number of untested issues, the author's systematic approach towards the cause of action, defences and remedies, coupled with the frequent use of contextual examples, means this work will maintain its relevance in this fastmoving area of the law. The title will be an invaluable reference for practitioners, Internet professionals, and students alike.
