  Written in a clear and accessible format, this well-referenced text offers a practical insight into key media issues, while avoiding the use of unnecessary and complex legal jargon. Diagrams, flow charts, bulleted lists and tables are incorporated throughout the text to emphasize and clarify key or complex issues, while the detailed glossary and range of appendices (listing useful addresses and websites, as well as extracts from key materials such as the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights, the Press Complaints Commission's Code of Practice and the Independent Television Commission's programme code), help to place the subject in context and provide the scope for wider, more in-depth study.
