Advertising Law & Ethics
By
Sawant Justice P.B. & Bandyopadhyay
Global advertising today is a multibillion dollar business which is expanding. Manufacturers, advertising professionals, traders and the media, all can continue to benefit from the expanding national and global markets provided they care to play the game.
In the years to come advertisements, nationally and internationally, are bound to be more creative, more subtle, more persuasive and more competitive.
Business competition is likely to tempt advertisers to use overtly or covertly unethical and, at times, illegal means of influencing human minds at high risks.
The book attempts to guide manufacturers, advertising professionals and the media how best they can play the game, safely and profitably.
Co-authored by a retired Supreme Court judge of high standing and a media person of international exposure, the book with a global perspective deals primarily with the legal and ethical obligations of advertising professionals, including the media. In particular it gives the operative parts or excerpts of the statutory laws governing advertising in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, UK, USA, and many other countries, and selected cases on unethical advertising decided by the Press Council of India.
