This major provides an understanding of the impact of the nexus between technology, media and the law on contemporary society. It explores key media issues like media regulation, value of free speech, defamation, privacy, intellectual property, and legal restrictions on media. The major will also analyse the international media policies and new media technologies and their impact on society and the law. Taught in collaboration between Macquarie Law School, the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and the Department of Media, Music, Communications and Cultural Studies, you will be able to combine units from science, media and law to gain a broader understanding of law in the media and technology sphere.
