Prof. Rattan Singh and Prof. Shruti Bedi’s Law & Media is a comprehensive treatment of the law governing the press, broadcasting and the digital media in India. It begins with the constitutional foundation — the freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a), the freedom of the press read into it, and the reasonable restrictions of Article 19(2) — and works through the law of defamation, contempt of court, sedition, obscenity, and the right to privacy as it applies to reporting.
The second edition gives particular attention to the contemporary media landscape: regulation of print, film and broadcast, the Information Technology Act and the intermediary and digital-media rules, social media and online speech, fake news and hate speech, and the tension between media freedom, fair trial and individual reputation. Explained through the leading Supreme Court authorities and written in a structured, readable style, it suits LL.B. and LL.M. media-law papers as well as journalists and practitioners.
