Book Review: Libel, Slander,
and Related Problems, 2d ed.*
By Robert D. Sack & Sandra A. Baron
Kyo Ho Youm, associate professor at
the Arizona State University Walter
Cronkite School of Journalism and
Telecommunication, teaches and
researches communications law. His
research has appeared in many law
journals.
When Libel, Slander, and Related Problems by Robert D. Sack was
first published in 1980,1 the book received glowing reviews from
media law practitioners and scholars. An attorney wrote in the Texas
Bar Journal:
There is no other book of which I am aware which combines mate-
rial concerning libel, slander, invasion of privacy and the various
related evidentiary and choice of law issues endemic to the three
torts although there are other books which incorporate these materi-
als in wider discussion of media law.2
