the case law under the pre-existing Reynolds common law defence. At this point the authors come full circle, returning to their initial exploration of the ambit of the public interest in the field of investigative journalism. This is an extremely timely book, reflecting the legal and regulatory landscape in the aftermath of the Leveson Report. Although certain sections of the press were found to have acted in an unethical way, requiring further regulatory oversight, it is apparent from this work that there are in place numerous legal constraints that cut across the newsgathering process, creating pitfalls for the unwary journalist or undermining legitimate reporting in the public interest. In such a climate, secure knowledge of the law is essential and it is hard to think of another book on the market that pulls together the legislative and other materials relevant to newsgathering in such a clear, comprehensive and systematic way. Newsgathering: Law, Regulation and the Public Interest will undoubtedly prove to be an essential and much thumbed resource for lawyers, editors and journalists (as well as individual bloggers and reporters operating outside mainstream media organisations) who advise on, or take part in, the newsgathering process. It will equally be an invaluable guide for charitable, civil society and public or private bodies that collect and disseminate information in the public interest. Though written from the perspective of the newsgatherer, it should be required reading for employers in the police, health and other civil service sectors, who need to be aware of the wider public interest in access to information when framing contractual terms and responsibilities. Students of media law, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, will find the book offers an extraordinarily helpful road map as to the sometimes bewildering, disparate and technical array of rules and regulations that govern investigative journalism. This is not a cheap book but, for those working in the field, is likely to be well worth the outlay. Newsgathering: Law, Regulation and the Public Interest is set to become a leading media law text and is highly recommended.
