Media Law in the Digital Age

If you meet the prereqs, I would substitute this as a DAC conceptual analysis elective.

JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION 661
Seminar: Media Law in the Digital Age
Spring 2011
5:00 PM-7:40 PM Mondays 01/24-05/12 MER 347

JMC 661 is designed to help you develop those skills in the context of the fast-evolving world of digital media law and policy. The course is a rigorous one, but if you accept the challenge you will gain a richer understanding of issues that are central not only to the future of the media industries but also to citizenship in the 21st Century.

REQUIRED READING

The readings for JMC 661 are very recent; most were published in the past few months. Required are a book (Keith B. Darrell, Issues in Internet Law, 2011), which you can obtain from http://www.issuesininternetlaw.com/, and a packet of legal materials and periodical articles available by January 18 at Clark Graphics.
