Product Description                                                                                                             
For as long as there have been printing presses, there have been accusations of libel, invasion of privacy, intellectual property infringements and a variety of other torts.  Now that much of the content reaching the public is distributed over the Internet, television (including cable and satellite), radio and film as well as in print, the field of pre-publication review has become more complicated and more important.  Counseling Content Providers in the Digital Age provides an overview of the issues content reviewers face repeatedly.

Counseling Content Providers in the Digital Age was written and edited by experienced media law attorneys from California  and New York.  This book is invaluable to attorneys entering the field of pre-publication review as well as anyone responsible for vetting the content of their client’s or their firm’s Web site.
