The latest version of a law book often referred to as the journalists’ bible has been launched.

The 21st edition of McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists was launched by Lord Hunt, Chair of the Press Complaints Commission, at a Media Law Seminar held by the National Council for the Training of Journalists.

Said Lord Hunt: “The book is an essential resource in newsrooms and courtrooms across the country and I am delighted to endorse the latest edition, which I know will have been eagerly awaited by editors, journalists, students looking to break into the industry and all those for whom the challenges of the world of journalism grow ever more demanding.”

Copies of the book are available to order from the NCTJ online shop.
