The Practical Guide to Libel Law
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Rosini was writing for the practicing media professionals who worry about injuring the good names of the subjects of their news stories. Its usefulness, however, may be expanded to include a graduate-level seminar.”–
“I suggest a perfect cram course for prepublication review of defamation is Neil Rosini's excellent new handbook. . . . The Rosini book is elegantly written and testifies to the author's enormous scholarship. . . In my opinion, this short handbook is an indispensable resource.”–
“I believe that any media professional would find reading The Practical Guide to Libel Law beneficial. Claims of defamation are ever increasing and this book provides basic guidelines to prevent such claims, which can both be time consuming and ultimately costly.”–
“The primary objective of this book is to provide a clear-cut set of rules that will help train media professionals to avoid potential problems in three steps prior to publication of defamatory information. But the book should be equallt helpful to journalism teachers. . . . Given that a number of actual news stories that generated libel litigation are used to illustrate the author's three-step approach, the book should be useful to newswriting and reporting students as well as to media law students. The sections on 'how much proof' and 'what to write' are especially relevant for journalism students who must be equipped with a working knowledge of what information to gather and how to write it. . . . The author is an excellent writer. His discussion and analysis of often complex case law is refreshingly clear and colorful.”–
