The objective of the first session of the course is to get you acquainted with 'contemporary media' as a specific subject matter of regulation. Amongst others, questions to be answered are: What are the economic and societal justifications for regulating media? Have these rationales been modified over time as the media landscape has been profoundly changed? What is international media law? What are its building blocks and how are they reflected in the course's structure?
