About globalmedialaw.com

Sharing Intellectual Capital: The Media Law Assistance Website, The Media Law Assistance Website seeks to provide up-to-date legal authorities and other resources in the area of media law while at the same time fostering dialogue amongst media law practitioners wherever they happen to be located. Our goal is to create a "one stop" resource in the developing world for the twenty-first century media law practitioner interested in accessing leading authorities from around the globe. We also seek to offer anecdotes, successes and failures from more experienced practitioners and non-lawyers working at the cutting edge of this field. We believe these authorities and dialogues will also be of great interest to judges, scholars, parliamentarians and other politicians, journalists, media executives and non-governmental organizations.
