Due to an emergency, we have an immediate need for a faculty member to teach a class in Communication Law starting April 3. The class meets Wednesday evenings 6:25 - 8:55. Syllabus and teaching materials will be provided but there is some flexibility to re-organize the class as long as the content meets the learning objectives of the curriculum.

Course Description: This course provides students with a basic understanding of the law and governmental regulations that apply to communication practitioners. Course topics include the First Amendment, defamation and libel, invasion of privacy law, copyright, advertising regulation, obscenity, pornography, internet law, protecting "news sources" for journalists, FCC regulation of broadcasting, and the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

This is an on-campus, face-to-face class.
