New additions to the fifth edition include:  the implications of new anti-terrorism legislation for journalists; developments in privacy law, including Law Reform recommendations for a statutory cause of action to protect personal privacy in Australia and the expanding privacy jurisprudence in the United Kingdom and New Zealand; liability for defamation of internet search engines and service providers; the High Court decision in Roadshow v iiNet and the position of internet service providers in relation to copyright infringement via their services; new suppression order regimes; statutory reforms providing journalists with a rebuttable presumption of non-disclosure when called upon to reveal their sources in a court of law; recent developments regarding whether journalists can use electronic devices to collect and disseminate information about court proceedings;  contempt committed by jurors via social media; and  an examination of recent decisions on defamation, confidentiality, vilification, copyright and contempt.
