The Cambridge handbook of media law and policy in Europe
Description
Martin SENFTLEBEN et al. The Cambridge handbook of media law and policy in Europe. Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2026. Online resource, e-book.
This book analyses pressing legal and policy issues that have arisen in the rapidly changing media ecosystem: from threats to media freedom and pluralism and the safety of journalists to challenges arising from the shift to platform-based communication, the spread of disinformation, and the impact of AI on media and news production. Seeking to pave the way for new, integrated regulatory responses, the individual chapters address legal and policy developments from a perspective that includes insights from human rights law, media law, and copyright law. The authors identify common principles for a coherent regulatory framework for news and media in Europe by evaluating existing laws and media governance institutions in light of the economic, technological and political challenges posed to the media sector.
