Abstract:

This commentary examines the European Court of Human Rights' jurisprudence on photography in public places and privacy. The author traces the evolution of the Court's analysis, from the early cases in which the Court rejected claims made by applicants captured in photographs taken in public places, to recent cases in which the Court has offered extensive and significant protection. The author argues that whilst it was essential that the Court developed Article 8 ECHR to accommodate the privacy interests of those photographed in public places, there are a number of problems with the current approach.

The only platform for focused, rigorous analysis of global developments in media law, this new peer-reviewed journal is:
- essential for teaching and research
- essential for practice
- essential for policy-making.
It turns the spotlight on all those aspects of law which impinge on and shape modern media practices - from regulation and ownership, to libel law and constitutional aspects of broadcasting such as free speech and privacy, obscenity laws, copyright, piracy, and other aspects of IT law. The result is the first journal to take a serious view of law through the lens.
