By exploring the regulation of press freedom within the broader political economy of journalism in The Gambia, the book highlights an often-overlooked intersection between law and media studies. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines legal analytical methods with media and cultural studies, including interviews with professional journalists, the book argues that colonial-era laws continue to play a crucial role in shaping the political economy of journalism in post-colonial countries like The Gambia.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSulayman Bah \u003c\/strong\u003eis a postdoctoral researcher and journalist based at Birmingham City University, UK, specializing in media law and journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032397850\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53341589504140,"sku":"9783032397850","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032397850.tif?v=1791401744","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032397850","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
