Course Descriptions

The course introduces students to the media law in China and internationally and provides the opportunity for an in-depth study of the ethical problems and implications of media practices. The protection of fundamental rights and freedoms will be emphasised throughout the course and principles will be considered in the light of practical examples from a wide variety of media and circumstances. Students will be encouraged to develop their own views and rules about the boundaries of ethical journalism, protect and promote media freedom but also respect dignity and rights of others. Practical day-to-day examples and important court cases will be used as illustrations and current developments and trends will be highlighted.
