Recent School of Law graduate publishes in the Journal of Media Law

Louisa Taylor, who studied as an undergraduate at the School of Law from to 2012 to 2016, has had an article based on her undergraduate dissertation published in the 2017 Journal of Media Law. Entitled "Balancing the right to a private life and freedom of expression: is pre-publication notification the way forward?" the article considers whether newspapers should be under a requirement to notify subjects of stories which contain private information.

The dissertation upon which the article is based was supervised in the School by Dr Richard Hyde. Louisa, who is now completing her LPC before starting a training contract in September at BrookStreet des Roches LLP, says, "I really enjoyed writing my dissertation so it seemed natural to continue working on it after I graduated and try to get it published. It was a long process but definitely worth it in the end. It's very rewarding seeing your name in print! I'd like to thank Dr Hyde for his guidance - the article would not have happened without him."
