Welcome Spring 2014 Students!

Hello! Welcome to the website for Dr. Powers' J3060 course. We meet Mondays from 430-700 PM in Langdale 621. Check out the syllabus here and the class schedule here. The only required text for my class is Communication and the Law (2014). Go ahead and order it now so that you have it in time for the start of classes. I'm looking forward to a terrific semester with you all, and hope that you are too.

Communication Law & Regulation

This course deals with the genesis and state of freedom of expression and the rights of individuals and media organizations in the United States. It provides an overview of the development of media law with emphasis on the current policies that govern media, as well as how media policies differ around the world. Attention is paid to the local, national and international legal systems and to how they relate to communication at the micro (individual) and macro (societal) levels.
