New Book on Nigerian Media Law and Policy By Linus Nnabuike Malu Now Available
New publication from Malthouse Law Books:
Linus Nnabuike Malu, Media Law and Policy in Nigeria (Malthouse Press, Ltd, Lagos, 2016). Among the chapters are “Evolution of the Nigerian Media,” “The Politics and Jurisprudence of the Nigerian Press Council,” “The National Boardcasting Act,” chapters on defamation, sedition, contempt of court, regulation of the movie industry, freedom of expression and privacy, access to information, regulation of the press during military regimes, and the relationship between the national Nigerian order and the international legal regime. The author includes a table of cases and a table of statutes (which includes international agreements), and an index. I haven’t read the book yet, but it looks interesting.
