Arthur S. Hayes's Mass Media Law
Home
Welcome. You have reached the website of Arthur S. Hayes, journalist turned media law and journalism scholar. Here you will find materials related mostly to my textbook, Mass Media Law: The Printing Press to the Internet, published by Peter Lang in 2013.
Mass Media Law is a textbook written mostly for communications and media studies majors; it emphasizes the interaction between law and the development and use of mass media technologies. I teach media law, mass communications and journalism courses at Fordham University in New York.
