The worldwide reach of print media, broadcasting, and the Internet has made ignorance about the laws of far-away jurisdictions a true liability. Publishers, journalists, and authors can be sued-successfully-for violating legal standards thousands of miles away. Contributions by legal experts in Europe, Asia, and the Americas explain the risks publishers should know about prior to publication, what steps editors and publishers should take to avoid legal conflicts, and what defenses are available should they be confronted with a claim.
