• Understanding legal principles and regulations governing various aspects of mass media, including print, broadcast, digital, and entertainment industries is important for ensuring legal compliance and non-infringement of the rights of others. This course teaches students about media laws in Qatar. Students learn about the regulatory framework guiding print, broadcast, and online media. Students learn about the legal implications of defamatory statements, contempt of court in media reporting, copyright law, licensing, fair use, and the protection of creative works in the media. Through lectures, case studies, and group discussions, students develop the skills necessary to understand how the media text they produce affects privacy and implicates the online security of featured individuals.

Masters (or equivalent as designated and approved) in a relevant discipline from a recognized, accredited institution. A terminal degree in a closely related field may be considered.
