Creative Licence: The Regulation of Media in Singapore

This book is unique in that it discusses the formal (civil and criminal) regulatory aspects, as well as the more informal controls, of these forms of media. The treatment is intentionally straightforward and practical rather than overly theoretical or academic. It aims to be a useful reference for media practitioners and lawyers advising media clients. It also quite extensively considers the historical developments of the regulation of these forms of media in Singapore. In that regard, media enthusiasts may also find this book to be of particular interest. This book takes into account all the changes in recent years to the Films Act, Broadcasting Act, and Public Entertainments Act. We have strived to state the law as it stood on 1 May 2020.
