This book provides a clear and concise guide for the working journalist, as well as a training aid for students for the NCTJ. The book is also referred to by advocates and solicitors involved in media law - an area which has undoubtedly assumed greater importance in recent years. The numbered paragraphs and extensive index should help the working journalist find answers to practical problems at speed.

The great virtue of this book is that it provides for journalists thorough sound instruction in the legal system of Scotland and the best possible advice on how to set about their task with knowledge. Lord President Emslie.

This is a masterly and invaluable source for anyone involved in journalism or other media roles in Scotland.
The style is erudite, elegant and accessible. I'm not a lawyer or journalist, but sometimes have to teach copyright, defamation, and court reporting law to communication students, and this is a vital reference source. It is by no means a dry and musty tome; it's enjoyably written.
It would really benefit from a new edition taking into account the explosion of the internet since this edition. There needs to be a very much expanded section examining internet aspects that are currently of concern in the light of Scots law.

I did not expect to enjoy reading this book. It's chunky and all the paragraphs are written in blocks with barely any breaks. However, when you actually sit down to read it, you find that the book is very well written and has an awful lot of very good information within the pages. It's surprisingly very easy to read and understand. I would highly recommend this book.
Format:Paperback
A must have, although be careful to buy the latest edition. The rules and regs are always changing, but no journalist should leave home without a guide for advice!
