I found the Media Law course at Stanmore School of Business to be a valuable learning experience. As a media professional from France, I was looking to expand my knowledge of media law and its applications in the European context. The course provided a comprehensive overview of key concepts, including freedom of expression, data protection, and intellectual property. I appreciated the instructor's approach, which balanced theoretical foundations with practical examples and case studies. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with useful references to relevant laws and regulations, such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation. While I would have liked more opportunities for discussion and debate, I overall found the course to be well-structured and informative. I gained a better understanding of media law principles and their relevance to my work, which I believe will benefit my career in the long run.
