As a consequence of the persuasive nature of the media, including digital media, the law has imposed a number of checks and balances for the protection of individuals and society. Inevitably these checks and balances come into conflict with freedom of the press. This unit examines the regulation and non-regulation of freedom of speech exercised by the media, including the various limitations imposed by the common law, statute and self-regulation.","title-full":"LLB242 Media Law","title-short":"Media Law","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=LLB242&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=LLB242","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=LLB242"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
