Court Reporting in Australia

Court Reporting in Australia uses the experience of reporters and subeditors to present a practical view of reporting on the legal system. Peter Gregory avoids the rigid fashion in which media law matters are usually described and, while he covers such vital areas as defamation and contempt, he focuses on the experiences and lessons to be learned from court reporters on the job. He highlights the problems and common mistakes likely to land journalists and media organisations in trouble.<BR>Court Reporting in Australia describes the different requirements for print and broadcast media. It features information and realistic advice from court reporters working for metropolitan media outlets as well as revealing how they perform their daily tasks. Practical and useful as well as theoretical, no one who reports on legal matters can afford to be without this book.<BR>
