I literally fall asleep reading this book,
By Hungry Lotus (Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Journalist's Guide to Media Law: Dealing with Legal and Ethical Issues (Paperback)
I purchased this book as it was a required text book for my class. I usually like text books for my classes but this is so dry, drab and dull that literally every time I read it for more than 10 minutes, no matter what time of the day it is, I start falling asleep.Most of the topics lack the depth required to gain a full, well rounded understanding of the issues. It reads more like a study guide to a real text book than an actual text book of its own. The only reason anyone should buy this is if they are forced to by their educational institution.
