Privacy and the Press

Exposing the faults and indiscretions of celebrities and politicians is great for circulation figures, but where should we draw the line between legitimate public exposure and an individual's right to privacy? This book explores how the English legal system has had to blend old laws on confidentiality with modern human rights law in order to deal with this question.

Written for non-specialists, the book provides a uniquely accessible guide to the legal aspects of this topical debate.
