"Quick Win Media Law Ireland" is aimed at those who work in the media industry seeking quick and practical answers to legal questions they encounter day-to-day. Written for non-lawyers, it will be useful to public relations, advertising, publishing and digital media professionals faced with legal queries arising in their work, as it will be to non-specialist lawyers and their clients when faced with a media-related problem. And students on media-related courses will find a plain English explanation of the legal principles they will learn about in media law modules. Quick Win Media Law Ireland is divided into six sections: The Irish legal system; Defamation law; Defamation court procedures; Media content regulation; Privacy and data protection; Copyright. Quick Win Media Law Ireland is designed so that you can dip in and out seeking answers to your top Irish media law questions as they arise. Answers to your queries can be located not only from the contents list but also by using the subject grid at the start of the book and by following the thread of cross-references provided at the end of each Q&A.
