This volume presents an anthology of the most important laws and regulations affecting journalism and the media in the European Union. These laws are placed in historical, sociopolitical and media contexts and are grouped by subject, often comparing them with similar regulations in the United States. Considerable attention is paid to the rule governing those who own media and those who help sustain them - the advertising industry. While looking at national - country-specific legislations - and supranational - European Union-wide regulations - this book also covers the limitations and rights of the richest media system in the world.
