Media Laws are not a set of laws that are applied only in the field of media. These laws are nothing but the ordinary legislations of our country, India but their application in the profession of journalism gives them the unique identity as ‘Media Laws’. This book provides an insight to the important legal and ethical aspects that a journalist, media professional or a student of journalism is ought to know. It tries to provide its readers with a lucid explanation of our complicated laws and further grasps their attention with relevant examples and arguments. The book not only comprehensively deals with the salient features of each legal or ethical aspect but also compares it with other supplementary, complimentary or contradictory laws, including Sting Operation, thereby questioning its validity and importance in the present context. ---provided by publisher
