Abstract
Review of Media Law in New Zealand (5th ed.), by John Burrows and Ursula Cheer and The Journalist's Guide to Media Law: Dealing with Legal and Ethical Issues (2d ed.), by Mark Pearson
Burrows and Cheers have provided a greatly expanded analysis of the developing area of privacy law, an area watched with trepidation by the news media after several high profile court cases, both in New Zealand and overseas.
Pearson also deserves praises for his clear chapter on the freedom of the press, a fundamental concept that is too easiy glossed over in benevolent democracies.
