Beschreibung:
Tom Crone is Legal Manager of News International plc, publishers of The Sun, News of the World, The Times and The Sunday Times. After 5 years as a practising Barrister, he became an in-house lawyer for Mirror Group in 1980 and `jumped ship¿ to join News Group, publishers of The Sun and News of the World in 1985. Since then, he has been at the centre of numerous high profile media cases: Robert Maxwell, Elton John, Ian Botham, George Michael, Sonia Sutcliffe, Bill Roache, Gillian Taylforth, Bruce Grobelaar, Thompson and Venables (the Bulger Killers), and Her Majesty The Queen (twice).
Practicing and trainee journalists will find this an essential reference source for everyday use. Tom Crone's authoritative text has been thoroughly updated for a fourth edition by media lawyers, Philip Alberstat and Tom Cassels, with input from John Wadham, Director of the human rights organization Liberty, and Simon Dowson-Collins of the BBC. The new edition also offers a free email bulletin service: sign up to receive details of important and relevant cases, as they occur.
