About the Book
Hong Kong Media Law is an authoritative roadmap of the laws most important to reporters, editors, news executives, and other professionals for the print, online and broadcast media – and the lawyers who advise them. Topics include defamation, court reporting, contempt, privacy, access to information, official secrets, copyright, newsgathering and reporting restrictions, broadcast regulations, and more.
The book focuses on Hong Kong, but also includes relevant developments in the U.K., U.S., and elsewhere as well as chapter for Hong Kong and international reporters working on the mainland in the People’s Republic of China. It features FAQs, checklists, a glossary of legal terms and appendices containing important statutes and cases.
