Read the spring 2022 issue of the Journal of Media Law and Ethics.
The journal is an online, peer-reviewed journal exploring current legal and ethical issues facing the media, including defamation, privacy, copyright, censorship, licensing, reporters' privilege, news accuracy, bias and media literacy. After its launch in 2009 as a journal of Marquette Books, the journal was published by the University of Baltimore School of Law beginning in spring 2012 under the continuing editorship of founding editor Eric B. Easton, professor emeritus of law at Baltimore, who has now joined its editorial board. The journal is served by an outstanding editorial board of 26 nationally eminent scholars in law and ethics.
"We are pleased to bring this journal to K-State," said Steven Smethers, director of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications. "Dr. Moro has been a longtime scholar in this area and it will be a mark of distinction to house the journal in the A.Q. Miller School."
Published quarterly or occasionally, the Journal of Media Law & Ethics seeks theoretical and analytical manuscripts that advance the understanding of media law and ethics in society.
